Question

Let ω be the complex number cos2π3+isin2π3. Then the number of distinct complex numbers z satisfying z+1ωω2ωz+ω21ω21z+ω=0 is equal to _________.

Moderate
Solution

ω=ei2π/3

z+1ωω2ωz+ω21ω21z+ω=0z1ωω21z+ω2111z+ω=0

 (Applying C1C1+C2+C3 and using 1+ω+ω2=0 ) 

or   zz+ω2(z+ω)1ω(z+ω1)+ω21zω2=0or   z3=0or   z=0 is only solution.
