If 1,ω and ω^2  are the cube roots of unity,  prove that (1−ω)(1−ω^2 )(1−ω^4 )(1−ω^5 )=9
If1,ωandω2arethecuberootsofunity,provethat(1ω)(1ω2)(1ω4)(1ω5)=9

(1−ω)(1−ω^2 )(1−ω^4 )(1−ω^5 )  (1−ω)(1−ω^2 )(1−ω^3 .ω)(1−ω^3 .ω^2 )  ={(1−ω)(1−ω^2 )}{(1−ω)(1−ω^2 )}  =(1−ω−ω^2 +ω^3 )^2   =(1−(ω+ω^2 )+ω^3 )^2   =(1−(−1)+1)^2 =3^2 =9  Proved
(1ω)(1ω2)(1ω4)(1ω5)(1ω)(1ω2)(1ω3.ω)(1ω3.ω2)={(1ω)(1ω2)}{(1ω)(1ω2)}=(1ωω2+ω3)2=(1(ω+ω2)+ω3)2=(1(1)+1)2=32=9Proved
