Multiply the proposed value omega2\\omega^2 by the denominator: omega2(c+aomega+bomega2)=comega2+aomega3+bomega4=comega2+a(1)+bomega\\omega^2(c+a\\omega+b\\omega^2)=c\\omega^2+a\\omega^3+b\\omega^4=c\\omega^2+a(1)+b\\omega (using omega3=1,omega4=omega\\omega^3=1,\\ \\omega^4=\\omega) =a+bomega+comega2=a+b\\omega+c\\omega^2, which is exactly the numerator. So the numerator equals omega2\\omega^2 times the denominator, confirming the quotient is omega2\\omega^2 (the denominator is nonzero since $1,\ …
