Given x + 1/x = 1
=> (x2 + 1) = x
=> x2 - x + 1 = 0
=> x = {-(-1) ± √(12 - 4*1*1)}/(2*1)
=> x = {1 ± √(1 - 4)}/2
=> x = {1 ± √(-3)}/2
=> x = {1 ± √(-1)*√3}/2
=> x = {1 ± i√3}/2 {since i = √(-1)}
=> x = -w, -w2
Now, put x = -w, we get
x2000 + 1/x2000 = (-w)2000 + 1/(-w )2000
= w2000 + 1/w2000
= w2000 + 1/w2000
= {(w3 )666 * w2 } + 1/{(w3 )666 * w2 }
= w2 + 1/w2 {since w3 = 1}
= w2 + w3 /w2
= w2 + w
= -1 {since 1 + w + w2 = 0}
So, x2000 + 1/x2000 = -1
