We have ω as a complex root. and so according to condition we shift the denominator part to the numerator as follows:- ω ω − ω 2 = e − 2 π / 3 ..(it is a property). and thus we find out logarithm of this:- l n ( ω ) ω − ω 2 = 3 − 2 π

l n ( ω ω 2 ω ω ) = l n ( ω ω ) − l n ( ω ω 2 ) = ( ω − ω 2 ) l n ( ω ) .
Let l n ( ω ) = y so ω = e y . ω is a cube root of unity also known as cos θ + i sin θ or e i θ where θ = 3 2 π .
So y = 3 2 i π . Since ω 2 + ω + 1 = 0 . Then ω − ω 2 = 2 ω + 1 .
( 2 ω + 1 ) ( 3 2 i π ) = ( 2 ( 2 − 1 + i 3 ) + 1 ) ( 3 2 i π ) = i 2 3 2 π 3 = 3 − 2 π .
