since...we will be having two values of x...which one...shuld we use

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe try one and then the other. roots are complex, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in fact i think they are the imaginary cube roots of 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it probably doesn't matter which one you use

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 for that.. the equation must be x^2+x+1=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x = (1+ i \sqrt{3})/2 , (1-i \sqrt{3})/2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(e^{\frac{\pi}{3}i}\) and its conjugate, which also in this case happens to be its reciprocal \(e^{-\frac{\pi}{3}i}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bhaweshwebmaster that is for the cube roots of 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^3=-1\] \[x^3+1=0\] \[(x+1)(x^2-x+1)=0\] etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 i cant understand..wat ur saying right nw....))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2-x+1=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you understand my very last post? showing that you have the two imaginary cube roots of \(-1\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there will be two values for x (complex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup....i knw cube root of unity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case not the cube roots of 1, but the cube roots of \(-1\)
