He asked them if they were merchants or wandering theives. Ulysses told him that they were Grecians and returning from Troy.

Polyphemus did not respond but gripped two of the nearest men, as if they were children, he dashed their brains out against the earth and tore in pieces their limbs, and devoured them, yet warm and trembling, making a lion’s meal of them, lapping the blood and relishing their flesh.

Let \( \alpha \) be a root of the equation \( 1+x^{2}+x^{4}=0 \). Then the value of \( \alpha^{1011}+\alpha^{2022}-\alpha^{3033} \) is equal to :

Answer»

Let ω = x2

then α be root of 1 + ω + ω2 = 0, where ω is cubic

Hence, α = √ω 

⇒ α2 = ω 

⇒ α6 = ω3 = 1

Now, α1011 + α2022 - α3033

 = α6 x 168 + 3 + α333 x 6 + 4 - α6 x 505 +3

 = (α6)168α3 + (α6)333α4 - (α6)505α3

 = α3 + α4 - α3 (\(\because \) α6 = 1)

 = α4

 = ω2 (\(\because\) α2 = ω)

 = \(\frac{-1-\sqrt3i}2\)

Answer»

The poet dipped the oars vigorously into the silent lake and began rowing. The boat moved from behind the uneven range of the high hill which had so far seemed to him to be the boundary of distant horizon.
