$$\mathrm{z}^{\mathrm{4}} −\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{z}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left(\mathrm{z}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left(\mathrm{z}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{z}=\mathrm{1},\mathrm{z}=−\mathrm{1},\mathrm{z}=\pm{i} \\ $$$$\omega={i}\:\left({say}\right) \\ $$$$\omega^{\mathrm{2}} ={i}^{\mathrm{2}} =−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\omega^{\mathrm{3}} ={i}^{\mathrm{3}} ={i}^{\mathrm{2}} .{i}=−{i} \\ $$$$\omega^{\mathrm{4}} ={i}^{\mathrm{4}} ={i}^{\mathrm{2}} .{i}^{\mathrm{2}} =−\mathrm{1}.−\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}+\omega+\omega^{\mathrm{2}} +\omega^{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{1}+{i}+\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)+\left(−{i}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$
