Correct answer: A

  1. We are given that α\alphaα is a root of 1+x2+x4=0.1+x^2+x^4=0.1+x2+x4=0. So, 1+α2+α4=0.1+\alpha^2+\alpha^4=0.1+α2+α4=0.

  2. Rewrite this as α4+α2+1=0.\alpha^4+\alpha^2+1=0.α4+α2+1=0. Now factor: α4+α2+1=α6−1α2−1\alpha^4+\alpha^2+1=\frac{\alpha^6-1}{\alpha^2-1}α4+α2+1=α2−1α6−1​ for α2≠1\alpha^2\ne 1α2=1, or more directly, α6−1=(α2−1)(α4+α2+1).\alpha^6-1=(\alpha^2-1)(\alpha^4+\alpha^2+1).α6−1=(α2−1)(α4+α2+1). Since α4+α2+1=0\alpha^4+\alpha^2+1=0α4+α2+1=0, we get α6=1.\alpha^6=1.α6=1. Also, α2≠1\alpha^2\ne 1α2=1 because if α2=1\alpha^2=1α2=1, then 1+α2+α4=1+1+1=3≠01+\alpha^2+\alpha^4=1+1+1=3\ne 01+α2+α4=1+1+1=3=0.

So α\alphaα is a 6th root of unity, but not ±1\pm 1±1.

  1. We need to find α1011+α2022−α3033.\alpha^{1011}+\alpha^{2022}-\alpha^{3033}.α1011+α2022−α3033. Since α6=1\alpha^6=1α6=1, powers of α\alphaα repeat modulo 666.

Compute the exponents modulo 666:

  • 1011≡3(mod6)1011 \equiv 3 \pmod{6}1011≡3(mod6), because 1011=6⋅168+31011=6\cdot 168+31011=6⋅168+3
  • 2022≡0(mod6)2022 \equiv 0 \pmod{6}2022≡0(mod6), because 2022=6⋅3372022=6\cdot 3372022=6⋅337
  • 3033≡3(mod6)3033 \equiv 3 \pmod{6}3033≡3(mod6), because 3033=6⋅505+33033=6\cdot 505+33033=6⋅505+3

Hence, α1011=α3,α2022=1,α3033=α3.\alpha^{1011}=\alpha^3, \qquad \alpha^{2022}=1, \qquad \alpha^{3033}=\alpha^3.α1011=α3,α2022=1,α3033=α3.

  1. Substitute these into the expression: α1011+α2022−α3033=α3+1−α3=1.\alpha^{1011}+\alpha^{2022}-\alpha^{3033}=\alpha^3+1-\alpha^3=1.α1011+α2022−α3033=α3+1−α3=1.

  2. Therefore, the value is 1.\boxed{1}.1​.

  3. Option check:

  • A: 111 ✅
  • B: α\alphaα ❌
  • C: 1+α1+\alpha1+α ❌
  • D: 1+2α1+2\alpha1+2α ❌

So the correct option is A.
