    The document discusses the cube roots of unity. It states that there are three cube roots of 1, which are 1, a real number, and two complex conjugate numbers. It provides three properties of the cube roots of unity: 1) One imaginary cube root is the square of the other. 2) The product of the two imaginary cube roots is 1. 3) The sum of the three cube roots of unity is zero.

    Let the cube root of 1 be x i.e., 3 1 = x. Then by definition, x3 = 1 or x3 1 = 0 or (x 1) (x2 + x + 1) = 0 Either x 1 = 0 i.e.

    , x = 1 or (x2 + x + 1) = 0

    Hence

    Hence, there are three cube roots of unity which are which the first one is real and the other two are conjugate complex numbers. These complex cube roots of unity are also called imaginary cube roots of unity. PROPERTIES OF THE CUBE ROOTS OF UNITY: 1. One imaginary cube root of unity is the square of the other.

    Hence it is clear that one cube root of unity is the square of the other. Hence if one imaginary cube root of unity be , then the other would be 2. 2. The product of the two imaginary cube roots is 1.

    Hence the product of the two imaginary cube roots

    (Proved) 3. The sum of the three cube roots of unity is zero.

    The sum of the three cube roots of unity =
