Correct answer: A
- We are given This means so satisfies the system obtained by equating each component to zero:
Given , substitute into these equations.
- From (3):
From (1):
Using (4), . Put this in (5): Then
So,
- Now evaluate Since is a cube root of unity with , we have and powers reduce modulo .
Compute exponents modulo : Hence
Using this becomes
-
Use the identity for cube roots of unity: Therefore,
-
Thus the required value is So the correct option is A.
