roots of the given eqn are w,w^2 so x^3 = 1 also x^-3 = 1 therefore ans = 2^3 = 8

Since, the equation has imaginary roots.
So, on solving we get roots as omega(w) and w^2.
we know that w^3=1.
So, ans comes out to be ((w^3 +1)/(w^3))^3.
hence, ans is 8.

x^2 + x + 1 = 0

The roots of the equation are

 -(-1)(1/3)and (-1)(2/3)

Now for x = -(-1)(1/3)

( x3 + 1 / x3 )  = 2

or ( x3 + 1 / x3 )3  = 23 = 8 

Similarly for x = -(-1)(2/3)

Then

( x3 + 1 / x3 )  = -2

or ( x3 + 1 / x3 )3  = 8


A paradox is an argument that starts with apparently acceptable assumptions and leads by apparently valid deductions to an apparent contradiction. Since logic admits no contradictions, either the apparently acceptable assumptions are not acceptable, or the apparently valid
deductions are not valid, or the apparent contradiction is not a contradiction. A paradox moves us to reexamine the argument until we find out what is wrong.
