If $$\omega \, (\neq 1)$$ is a cube root of unity, and $$(1 + \omega)^7 = A + B\omega$$. Then $$(A, B)$$ equals:
For the cube roots of unity we know
$$\omega^3 = 1, \qquad 1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0.$$
From $$1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0$$ we obtain
$$1 + \omega = -\omega^2.$$
Now evaluate powers of $$1+\omega$$.
Step 1: Cube.
$$(1+\omega)^3 = (-\omega^2)^3 = -\,\omega^{6}.$$
Because $$\omega^3 = 1 \implies \omega^{6} = (\omega^3)^2 = 1,$$ we get
$$(1+\omega)^3 = -1.$$
Step 2: Sixth power.
$$(1+\omega)^6 = \bigl((1+\omega)^3\bigr)^2 = (-1)^2 = 1.$$
Step 3: Seventh power.
$$(1+\omega)^7 = (1+\omega)^6\,(1+\omega) = 1\,(1+\omega) = 1+\omega.$$
Thus
$$(1+\omega)^7 = 1 + \omega = A + B\omega,$$
which gives $$A = 1,\; B = 1.$$
Therefore $$(A, B) = (1, 1).$$
Option A which is: $$(1, 1)$$
