Re: Quadratic

I presume ɑ and β are the roots, which are complex. Since we are going to deal with their powers, best to convert them to cos–sin form:

[list=*]
[*]

[/*]
[/list]

So the roots are

[list=*]
[*]

[/*]
[/list]

one of them is ɑ, the other is β. Since the question doesn’t say which is which, you may as well take your pick. Now use De Moivre’s theorem.
