Correct answer: 5

  1. We are given that α\alphaα satisfies x2+x+1=0.x^2+x+1=0.x2+x+1=0. So, α2+α+1=0  ⟹  α2=−α−1.\alpha^2+\alpha+1=0 \implies \alpha^2=-\alpha-1.α2+α+1=0⟹α2=−α−1.

Also, since α\alphaα is a root of x3−1=0x^3-1=0x3−1=0 but not of x−1=0x-1=0x−1=0, we have α3=1,α≠1.\alpha^3=1, \qquad \alpha\ne 1.α3=1,α=1.

  1. Now compute (1+α)7(1+\alpha)^7(1+α)7.

First observe: 1+α=−α21+\alpha=-\alpha^21+α=−α2 from 1+α+α2=0.1+\alpha+\alpha^2=0.1+α+α2=0. Hence, (1+α)7=(−α2)7=−α14.(1+\alpha)^7=(-\alpha^2)^7=-\alpha^{14}.(1+α)7=(−α2)7=−α14.

Since α3=1\alpha^3=1α3=1, reduce the power modulo 333: 14≡2(mod3).14\equiv 2 \pmod 3.14≡2(mod3). Therefore, α14=α2.\alpha^{14}=\alpha^2.α14=α2. So, (1+α)7=−α2.(1+\alpha)^7=-\alpha^2.(1+α)7=−α2.

  1. We want to write this in the form A+Bα+Cα2,A+B\alpha+C\alpha^2,A+Bα+Cα2, with A,B,C≥0A,B,C\ge 0A,B,C≥0.

Using −α2=1+α-\alpha^2=1+\alpha−α2=1+α (because α2=−α−1\alpha^2=-\alpha-1α2=−α−1), we get (1+α)7=1+α.(1+\alpha)^7=1+\alpha.(1+α)7=1+α.

Thus, A=1,B=1,C=0.A=1,\quad B=1,\quad C=0.A=1,B=1,C=0. These satisfy A,B,C≥0A,B,C\ge 0A,B,C≥0.

  1. Now calculate: 5(3A−2B−C)=5(3⋅1−2⋅1−0)=5(1)=5.5(3A-2B-C)=5\bigl(3\cdot 1-2\cdot 1-0\bigr)=5(1)=5.5(3A−2B−C)=5(3⋅1−2⋅1−0)=5(1)=5.

Therefore, the required integer is 5.\boxed{5}.5​.
