The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$(1+\omega-\omega^2)^7=(-\omega^2-\omega^2)^7 \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, [\because 1+\omega+\omega^2=0] $
$=(-2\omega^2)^7=(-2)^7\omega^{14}=-128 \omega^2$

Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Complex Number: Any number that is formed as a+ib is called a complex number. For example: 9+3i,7+8i are complex numbers. Here i = -1. With this we can say that i² = 1. So, for every equation which does not have a real solution we can use i = -1.

Quadratic equation: A polynomial that has two roots or is of the degree 2 is called a quadratic equation. The general form of a quadratic equation is y=ax²+bx+c. Here a≠0, b and c are the real numbers.
