( a,b )are complex numbers and a^2 +ab+b^2 =0 find ((a/(a+b)))^(2020) +((b/(a+b)))^(2020)

$$\left(\:{a},{b}\:\right){are}\:{complex}\:{numbers}\:{and}\:{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{ab}+{b}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${find}\:\left(\frac{{a}}{{a}+{b}}\right)^{\mathrm{2020}} +\left(\frac{{b}}{{a}+{b}}\right)^{\mathrm{2020}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

a is slution of x^2 +bx +b^2 =0 Δ=b^2 −4b^2 =−3b^2 =(i(√3)b)^2 ⇒x_1 =((−b+i(√3)b)/2) =b e^((i2π)/3) and x_2 =((−b−i(√b))/2)=be^(−((i2π)/3)) a=x_1 ⇒(a/(a+b)) =((b e^((i2π)/3) )/(be^((i2π)/3) +b)) =(e^((i2π)/3) /(1+e^((i2π)/3) )) =(1/(1+e^(−((i2π)/3)) )) =(1/(1−(1/2)−((i(√3))/2)))= =(1/((1/2)−((i(√3))/2)))=e^((iπ)/3) (b/(a+b)) =(b/(be^((i2π)/3) +b)) =(1/(e^((i2π)/3) +1)) =(1/(1−(1/2)+((i(√3))/2))) =(1/((1/2)+((i(√3))/2))) =e^(−((iπ)/3)) ⇒ ((a/(a+b)))^(2020) +((b/(a+b)))^(2020) =(e^((iπ)/3) )^(2020) +(e^(−((iπ)/3)) )^(2020) =2cos(((2020π)/3)) this value can be simplified... wr find the same value for x =x_2

a^2 +ab+b^2 =0 ⇒ b=a(−(1/2)±((√3)/2)i) ⇒ (a/(a+b))=(1/2)∓((√3)/2)i ∧ (b/(a+b))=(1/2)±((√3)/2)i ⇒ ((a/(a+b)))^n +((b/(a+b)))^n =e^(−i((nπ)/3)) +e^(i((nπ)/3)) now you should be able to find the answer

$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{ab}+{b}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{b}={a}\left(−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{i}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\frac{{a}}{{a}+{b}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mp\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{i}\:\wedge\:\frac{{b}}{{a}+{b}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{i} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\left(\frac{{a}}{{a}+{b}}\right)^{{n}} +\left(\frac{{b}}{{a}+{b}}\right)^{{n}} =\mathrm{e}^{−\mathrm{i}\frac{{n}\pi}{\mathrm{3}}} +\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\frac{{n}\pi}{\mathrm{3}}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{now}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{should}\:\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{able}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{answer} \\ $$

(a + b)^2 − ab = 0 ⇒ (a + b)^2 = ab ⇒ ((ab)/((a + b)^2 )) = 1 ⇒ ((a/(a + b)) )((b/(a + b))) = 1 ((a/(a + b))) + ((b/(a + b))) = ((a + b)/(a + b)) = 1 Let x = (a/(a + b)), y = (b/(a + b)) with xy = 1, x + y = 1 Define f(n) = x^n + y^n f(1) = x + y = 1 f(2) = x^2 + y^2 = (x + y)^2 − 2xy = −1 f(3) = x^3 + y^3 = (x + y)^3 − 3xy(x + y) = −2 f(4) = x^4 + y^4 = (x^3 + y^3 )(x + y) − xy(x^2 + y^2 ) = −1 f(5) = 1, f(6) = 2, f(7) = 1, f(8) = −1, f(9) = −2 f(n) = f(n+6) ∴ f(2020) = f(4) = −1
