If `alpha` and `beta` are the roots of the equation `x^2-x+1=0` , then `alpha^(2009)+beta^(2009)=`

A

1

B

2

C

`-2`

D

`-1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
We have,
`alpha=-omega` and `beta=-omega^(2)`
`therefore alpha^(2009)+beta^(2009)=(-omega)^(2009)+((-omega)^(2))^(2009) = -(omega^(2009)+omega^(4018))=-(omega^(2)+omega)=1`
