How to find the Roots of the Polynomial $1 + s^{12}$ analytically

75 Views Asked by At

Is it possible to analytically find the roots of the polynomial $\mathbf{1 + s^{12}}$ where $s$ denotes the Laplace variable? I know that the roots will appear in complex-conjugate pairs lying on the unit circle in the $s$-plane.

Hint: $1+s^{12}=0$ iff $s^{12}=-1$ iff $s^{24}=1$ and $s^{12}\ne1$.
