Consider 2ndroot of unity
x2-1=0
x=+1,-1
Now, forming an equation using these roots
(x-1)(x+1)
=x2-1
Now, Consider 4throot of unity
x4-1=0
(x2+1)(x2-1)=0
x= +i,-i,+1,-1
Now, if an equation is formed using these roots altogether,
(x+1)(x-1)(x+i)(x-i)=(x2+1)(x2-1)= x4-1
which is the root equation from which these roots were derived.
Hence,
for the 100throot, conversely
(x–ω)(x–ω2)(x–ω3)....(x–ω99)= x100-1 ...(asω1,2,3,........99are again roots of unity)
Substituting x=2, we get,
2100-1
