Given the equation x2+xy+y2=0, we can factor it as (x+ωy)(x+ω2y)=0, where ω and ω2 are the complex cube roots of unity
step 2
Since x and y are non-zero complex numbers, we can deduce that x=−ωy or x=−ω2y
step 3
Substituting x=−ωy into (x+yx)2020+(x+yy)2020, we get ((1−ω)y−ωy)2020+((1−ω)yy)2020
step 4
Simplifying the expression from step 3, we find that both terms are equal to (1−ω1)2020
step 5
Since 1+ω+ω2=0, we have 1−ω=−(ω+ω2)=ω2. Thus, (1−ω1)2020=ω4040
step 6
Observing that ω3=1, we can simplify ω4040 to ω(3⋅1346+2)=ω2
step 7
Therefore, the value of (x+yx)2020+(x+yy)2020 is 2ω2
Answer
2ω2
Key Concept
Complex cube roots of unity and their properties
Explanation
The equation x2+xy+y2=0 can be factored using the complex cube roots of unity, leading to a simplification of the given expression when x and y are substituted accordingly. The properties of the cube roots of unity, such as 1+ω+ω2=0 and ω3=1, are essential in simplifying the expression to the final answer.
m^2+m+1=0, m^1010+1/m^1010=?
Solution by Steps
step 1
Given the equation m2+m+1=0, we can find the value of m1010+m10101 by using the properties of complex numbers
step 2
Since m is a root of m2+m+1=0, we can use the fact that m3=1 for any complex root of this equation
step 3
We can express m1010 as (m3)336⋅m2 because 1010=3⋅336+2
step 4
Since m3=1, m1010=m2. Similarly, m10101=m21
step 5
We can now add m2 and m21 to find m1010+m10101
step 6
Using the original equation m2+m+1=0, we can express m2 as −m−1
step 7
Substituting m2 with −m−1 in m1010+m10101, we get −m−1+−m−11
step 8
To simplify −m−1+−m−11, we need a common denominator, which is −m−1
step 9
The expression becomes −m−1(−m−1)2+1
step 10
Expanding (−m−1)2 gives m2+2m+1
step 11
Substituting m2 with −m−1 in m2+2m+1, we get −m−1+2m+1
step 12
Simplifying −m−1+2m+1 results in m
step 13
Now we have −m−1m+1
step 14
Simplifying the fraction −m−1m+1 gives us −1 since m+1 is the negative of the denominator
Answer
m1010+m10101=−1
