zn=1. It is called a primitive n-th root of unity if n is the smallest positive integer for which the equation is satisfied. (a) (2 points) Justify that for each n there are exactly n different roots of unity (for example, for n=4 they are 1,?1,i and ?i ) (b) (2 points) Justify that for each n there are exactly ?(n) different primitive roots of unity (for example, for n=4 they are i and ?i ). (c) (1 point) Justify that the sum of all roots of unity is 0 . Hint: Factor the polynomial xn?1.
