The correct answer is: x2+x+1=0

For quadratic equation, x2+x+1=0

x=-1±1-42=-1±3i2

α=-1+3i2, β=-1-3i2

By using cube roots of unity, we can say α=ω &  β=ω2

So, α2021=ω2021=ω3673.ω2=ω2, as ω3=1

β2021=ω22021=ω31347.ω=ω

Therefore, roots of new equation will be ω, ω2,

Therefore, equation is x2-ω+ω2x+ω.ω2=0

We know, 1+ω+ω2=0 & ω3=1

x2+x+1=0 is the required equation.
