Answer with explanation please. Thanks

 

 

Let ω be a nonreal root of z3=1. Find the number of ordered pairs (a,b) of integers such that |aω+b|=1.

There are four pairs that work: (1,0), (-1,0), (0,1), (0,-1).

They are the only ones I can think of too.

 

I got down to

 

a2+b2ab=1

 

Not sure how to determine if those are the only 4 answers.

The following also work:

  a=23,b=13a=23,b=13

How did you come up with those Alan?  

Is there some technique you can show us?
