if \( x^2 + x + 1 = 0\)

\(x ^{2013} + x ^{2023} = ?\)

Hi iatii

x² + x + 1 = 0
Multiply (x-1) on both sides:
(x-1)*(x² + x + 1) = (x-1)*0
x³ + x² + x - x² - x - 1 = 0
x³ - 1 = 0
x³ = 1
x = 1

\(x ^{2013} + x ^{2023} = 1 ^{2013} + 1 ^{2023}\)
= 1 + 1
= 2

Please note:
x = 1 DOES NOT SATISFY the given equation

Hence, the above solution is not valid
