We have a vanishing polynomial $Z(X) = X^N - 1$. Implicitly we are proving that
|
||||
|
||||
$$X^N = 1$$
|
||||
|
||||
What are the solutions to this polynomial? Well the answer is $\omega$ which is any root of $1$.
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore the solution to the formula $X^N - 1$ will be all the values of $X^N = 1$ or
|
||||
|
||||
$$X^N - 1 = (\omega - 1)(\omega^2 - 1)\cdots(\omega^{N - 1} - 1)$$
