Q52.Let α = −1+i√32 . If a = (1 + α) ∑100k=0 α2k and b = ∑100k=0 α3k , then a and b, are the roots of the quadratic equation. (1) x2 + 101x + 100 = 0 (2) x2 −102x + 101 = 0 (3) x2 −101x + 100 = 0 (4) x2 + 102x + 101 = 0

What This Question Tests

The question requires using properties of cube roots of unity and the sum of a geometric progression to simplify expressions for 'a' and 'b', and then forming a quadratic equation from these roots.
