(a) By computing the coefficient of zN-1 on the right hand side of Equation (2), show that the sum of Nth roots of unity is equal to 0. (Note that this coefficient must be equal to the coefficient of zN-1 on the left-hand side, which is 0). (b) (This one is harder) Compute the coefficient of zN-2 on the right-hand side of Equation (2). What prop- erty of the N'th roots of unity can you conclude from this?

Expert Solution
Introduction
As per the question we are given the following equation :
zN - 1 = (z - ζ0) ... (z - ζN-1)
Where ζ0 , ... , ζN-1 is the Nth roots of unity. And using this equation we have to compute :
- The coefficient of zN-1 at the right side of the given equation. And show that the sum of the Nth roots of unity is zero.
- The coefficient of zN-2 at the right side of the given equation. And establish another property of the Nth roots of unity.
