(x+(1/x))^2 −(x−(1/x))^2 =4⇒x−(1/x)=±i(√3)   { ((x−(1/x)=±i(√3))),((x+(1/x)=−1)) :}⇒x=((−1±i(√3))/2)  x^2 =−x−1  x^3 =x.x^2 =x(−x−1)=−x^2 −x=x+1−x=1  ⇒x^3 =(1/x^3 )=1⇒x^(2016) +(1/x^(2016) )=(x^3 )^(672) +(1/((x^3 )^(672) ))=  =1^(672) +(1/1^(672) )=1+1=2  .■

x+(1/x)=−1  ⇒ x^2 +x+1=0  x=((−1±(√(1−4)))/2) = −(1/2)±((i(√3))/2)    =ω , ω^2  where  (ω)^3 =1, (ω^2 )^3 =1  so x^(2016) =[(ω)^3 ]^(672) =1^(672) =1  hence  x^(2016) +(1/x^(2016) ) = 1+1 =2  .   (B)

$${x}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{x}+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{−\mathrm{1}\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{4}}}{\mathrm{2}}\:=\:−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\frac{{i}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\:\:=\omega\:,\:\omega^{\mathrm{2}} \:{where}\:\:\left(\omega\right)^{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{1},\:\left(\omega^{\mathrm{2}} \right)^{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${so}\:{x}^{\mathrm{2016}} =\left[\left(\omega\right)^{\mathrm{3}} \right]^{\mathrm{672}} =\mathrm{1}^{\mathrm{672}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${hence} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2016}} +\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2016}} }\:=\:\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{1}\:=\mathrm{2}\:\:.\:\:\:\left({B}\right) \\ $$

Please check  x=±ω?  I think it should be  x=ω,ω^2   Also (±ω)^3 ≠1  ω^3 =1,(−ω)^3 =−ω^3 =−1

$$\mathrm{Please}\:\mathrm{check} \\ $$$${x}=\pm\omega? \\ $$$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{think}\:\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{should}\:\mathrm{be} \\ $$$${x}=\omega,\omega^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Also}\:\left(\pm\omega\right)^{\mathrm{3}} \neq\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\omega^{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{1},\left(−\omega\right)^{\mathrm{3}} =−\omega^{\mathrm{3}} =−\mathrm{1} \\ $$

what is ω?  I′ve never seen the notation (±ω)^3 =1

$$\mathrm{what}\:\mathrm{is}\:\omega? \\ $$$$\mathrm{I}'\mathrm{ve}\:\mathrm{never}\:\mathrm{seen}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{notation}\:\left(\pm\omega\right)^{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$

Filup,  1,ω,ω^2  are cube roots of unity.  or 3 solutions of equation  x^3 =1⇒(x−1)(1+x+x^2 )=0  x=1, 1+x+x^2 =0 has 2 roots (ω,ω^2 )  as in answer above.  w,w^2 =−(1/2)±((i(√3))/2)

$$\mathrm{Filup}, \\ $$$$\mathrm{1},\omega,\omega^{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{cube}\:\mathrm{roots}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{unity}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{solutions}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{equation} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left(\mathrm{1}+{x}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{1},\:\mathrm{1}+{x}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{has}\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{roots}\:\left(\omega,\omega^{\mathrm{2}} \right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{as}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{answer}\:\mathrm{above}. \\ $$$${w},{w}^{\mathrm{2}} =−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\frac{{i}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
