Consider the complex third root of unity ω 3 = 1 , ⟹ ω = e 3 2 π i and we have:
1 + ω + ω 2 e 0 i + e 3 2 π i + e 3 4 π i ⟹ e θ i ( e 0 i + e 3 2 π i + e 3 4 π i ) cos θ + i sin θ + cos ( θ + 3 2 π ) + i sin ( θ + 3 2 π ) + cos ( θ + 3 4 π ) + i sin ( θ + 3 4 π ) cos θ + cos ( θ + 3 2 π ) + cos ( θ + 3 4 π ) + i ( sin θ + sin ( θ + 3 2 π ) + sin ( θ + 3 4 π ) ) = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0 By Euler’s formula e x i = cos x + i sin x where θ is a real constant.
Equating the real and imaginary parts on both sides,
⟹ cos θ + cos ( θ + 3 2 π ) + cos ( θ + 3 4 π ) = sin θ + sin ( θ + 3 2 π ) + sin ( θ + 3 4 π ) = 0
Therefore, the general solution for x , y , z = θ , θ + 3 2 π , θ + 3 4 π and sin θ sin ( θ + 3 2 π ) sin ( θ + 3 4 π ) has no unique solution . The answer is thus None of the others.
