Question:

If $\omega$ is an imaginary cube root of unity, then the value of $\left(2-\omega\right)\left(2-\omega^{2}\right)+2\left(3-\omega\right)\left(3-\omega^{2}\right)+.....+\left(n-1\right)\left(n-\omega\right)\left(n-\omega^{2}\right)$

  • $\frac{n^{2}}{4}\left(n+1\right)^{2}-n$
  • $\frac{n^{2}}{4}\left(n+1\right)^{2}+n$
  • $\frac{n^{2}}{4}\left(n+1\right)^{2}$
  • $\frac{n^{2}}{4}\left(n+1\right)-n$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$\displaystyle \sum_{r=2}^n\left(r-1\right)\left(r-\omega^{2}\right)=\displaystyle \sum_{r=2}^n(r^3-1)=$$\left[\frac{n^{2}\left(n+1\right)^{2}}{4}-1\right]-\left(n-1\right)=\frac{n^{2}\left(n+1\right)^{2}}{4}-n$

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.
