Answer: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = x^2 + x + 1
zeroes are the values which when we put in place of x makes p(x)=0.
Therefore, the values at which x^2 + x + 1 =0 are
1. ( -1 + i√3 ) / 2 which we call omega(w)
2. ( -1 - i√3 ) / 2 which we call omega²(w²)
Therefore sum of their reciprocals is = 1/w + 1/w²
= ( w + w²) / w³
= -1 / 1
= -1 ( ANSWER)
AS 1. 1 + w + w² = 0
2. w³ = 1
