For a non-zero complex number z, let (z) denote the principal argument of z, with - < (z) . Let be the cube root of unity for which 0< ( )< . Let = ( n=12025(- )n ). Then the value of 3 is .
Answer
-2
Solution
=ei2 /3 - =e-i /3=r, with r6=1 and r+r2+ +r6=0.
2025=6 337+3, so the sum =r+r2+r3.
r= 12- 32i, r2=- 12- 32i, r3=-1; sum =-1- 3 i.
=- 2 3 3 =-2
