Cube Roots of Unity
TRICK:
If you have to solve any power of ω then simply divide the
power by 3 and check remainder. It will become the power
of ω. ω3 =1
If you see such question: ω56=?
just divide the power of ω by 3 and solve the ω to the
remainder power.
In our case.
56/3
Remainder: 2
ω² is answer.

Properties of Cube Root of Unity:
1) Each Complex cube root of unity is square of the other.
√ √ √
If = then If = and If = then
√
=
2) The sum of all the three cube root of unity is zero i.e
1+w+w2=0
3) The product if all the three cube root of unity is 1. i.e w3=1
4) For any n , wn is equivalent to one of the cube root of
unity.
5) 1,w,w2 is a geometric sequence with common ratio “w”
6) {1,w,w2} is an Abelian Group under multiplication.
7) Each complex cube root of unity is square, square root,
reciprocal and conjugate of other.
8) wn+wn+1+wn+2=0 ,n
9) wn.wn+1 .wn+2=1 ,n
