.
The competent mathematician will never write
". . . imaginary cube roots of unity",

because they are not imaginary. They are COMPLEX instead.


What is the source of this problem ?


I just saw this problem once (long time ago) in this forum and worked on it.

And my conclusion was: the formulation is wrong/incorrect.

So, my question is: WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF IT ?
