The correct answer is: -128

Given,

x2-2x+2=0

x=2±6i2

x=21±3i2

x=212±3i2

x=2cosπ3±isinπ3

So, α=2cosπ3+isinπ3=2e3

And β=2cosπ3-isinπ3=2e-3

Now α14+β14=2e314+2e-314

α14+β14=214ei14π3+e-i14π3

α14+β14=214cos14π3+isin14π3+cos14π3-isin14π3

α14+β14=272cos14π3

α14+β14=28cos4π+2π3

α14+β14=28cos2π3

α14+β14=-28×12=-128
