Let \omega be a nonreal root of x^3 = 1.  Compute
(1 - \omega + \omega^2)^6 + (1 + \omega - \omega^2)^6.

\(Let\ \omega\ be\ a\ nonreal\ root\ of\ x^3 = 1.\\ Compute\ (1 - \omega + \omega^2)^6 + (1 + \omega - \omega^2)^6.\)

 

\(x^3=1\\ x=\sqrt[3]{1}\\ \color{blue}\sqrt[3]{1}\ is\ not\ a\ transcendental\ number.\ \sqrt[3]{1}=1 \\ \omega=1\\ (1 - 1 + 1^2)^6 + (1 + 1 - 1^2)^6=2 \)
