The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the equation given: \[ \omega^n + \omega^{2n} = -1 \] where \(\omega\) is a cube root of unity. The cube roots of unity are: \[ \omega = e^{2\pi i / 3} = -\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} i \] \[ \omega^2 = e^{-2\pi i / 3} = -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} i \] \[ \omega^3 = 1 \] ### Step 1: Use properties of cube roots of unity From the properties of cube roots of unity, we know: \[ \omega^3 = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad 1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0 \] This implies: \[ \omega + \omega^2 = -1 \] ### Step 2: Substitute \(n\) in terms of \(3m\), \(3m+1\), and \(3m+2\) We can express \(n\) in the form \(n = 3m + k\) where \(k = 0, 1, 2\). #### Case 1: \(n = 3m\) \[ \omega^{3m} + \omega^{2(3m)} = 1 + 1 = 2 \quad \text{(not equal to -1)} \] #### Case 2: \(n = 3m + 1\) \[ \omega^{3m+1} + \omega^{2(3m+1)} = \omega + \omega^2 = -1 \quad \text{(this works)} \] #### Case 3: \(n = 3m + 2\) \[ \omega^{3m+2} + \omega^{2(3m+2)} = \omega^2 + \omega = -1 \quad \text{(this also works)} \] ### Conclusion The integer \(n\) can be expressed in the form: \[ n = 3m + 1 \quad \text{or} \quad n = 3m + 2 \] Thus, we can conclude that \(n\) is of the form \(km + l\) where \(k = 3\) and \(l = 1\) or \(2\). ### Final Answer The integer \(n\) is of the form \(3m + l\) where \(l = 1 \text{ or } 2\).
