The correct answer is:
\(x^2+x+1=0\)
Hints: \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are the roots of \(x^2+x+1=0\)
\(\begin{array}{ll}
\alpha=\omega & \beta=\omega^2 \\
\alpha^{19}=\omega & \beta^7=\omega^2 \\
x^2-\left(\alpha^{19}+\beta^7\right) x+\alpha^{19} \beta^7=0
\end{array}\)
Thou,
\(\begin{aligned}
& x^2-\left(\omega+\omega^2\right) x+\omega \cdot \omega^2=0 \\
& x^2+x+1=0
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{array}{ll}
\alpha=\omega & \beta=\omega^2 \\
\alpha^{19}=\omega & \beta^7=\omega^2 \\
x^2-\left(\alpha^{19}+\beta^7\right) x+\alpha^{19} \beta^7=0
\end{array}\)
Thou,
\(\begin{aligned}
& x^2-\left(\omega+\omega^2\right) x+\omega \cdot \omega^2=0 \\
& x^2+x+1=0
\end{aligned}\)
