$$\left({x}^{\mathrm{4}} −{x}^{\mathrm{3}} +{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)={x}^{\mathrm{5}} +\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0}\:\Leftrightarrow\:{x}^{\mathrm{5}} =−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{x}^{\mathrm{10}} ={x}^{\mathrm{20}} ={x}^{\mathrm{30}} ={x}^{\mathrm{40}} =\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{answer}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$
