The value of ω³ where ω is a cube root of unity (ω ≠ 1) is:

Answer: 1.

  • A -1
  • B 0
  • C 1
  • D ω

Correct answer: C. 1

Explanation: omega is a cube root of unity, so omega<sup>3</sup> = 1 by definition.

Argand Plane: z = a + ibReImz = a+iba (real part)b (imaginary part)θ = arg(z)|z| = length of the vector OZ = √(a²+b²); θ = angle OZ makes with the positive real axis

A complex number z = a+ib is plotted as a point (or vector from the origin) on the Argand plane, with the real part along the horizontal axis and the imaginary part along the vertical; its modulus |z| is the vector's length, and its argument θ is the angle from the positive real axis.

Concept context

Complex numbers in a+ib form, modulus, argument, polar form, cube roots of unity, and quadratic equations with complex roots
