  1. A.$${\pi \over 4}$$correct
  2. B.$${\pi \over 6}$$
  3. C.$${\pi \over 3}$$
  4. D.0

Answer

A. $${\pi \over 4}$$

Explanation

1 + x + x2 = 0 x = $${{ - 1 \pm \sqrt {1 - 4} } \over 2} = {{ - 1 \pm i\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$$ z0 = w, w2 Now z = 3 + 6iz$$_0^{81}$$ $$-$$ 3iz$$_0^{93}$$ z = 3 + 6iw81 $$-$$ 3iw93 (w93 = w81 = 1) $$ \Rightarrow $$ z = 3 + 3i then arg(z) = tan$$-$$1$$\left( {{3 \over 3}} \right)$$ = tan$$-$$1 (1) = $${\pi \over 4}$$
