is divided by .
解析
Solution 1
Now, we consider the polynomial whose roots are the 13th roots of unity. Taking our rewritten product from to , we see that both instances of cycle through each of the 13th roots. Then, our answer is:
~Mqnic_
Solution 2
To find , where and , rewrite this is as
where and are the roots of the quadratic .
Grouping the 's and 's results in (note that this is because the equations have the same roots and the same leading coefficients.
We know that by vietas formula, and can be found by expanding .
The value so the answer is
Solution 3
Denote for .
Thus, for , is a permutation of .
We have \begin{align*}\ \Pi_{k = 0}^{12} \left( 2 - 2 \omega^k + \omega^{2k} \right) & = \Pi_{k=0}^{12} \left( 1 + i - \omega^k \right) \left( 1 - i - \omega^k \right) \\ & = \Pi_{k=0}^{12} \left( \sqrt{2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} - \omega^k \right) \left( \sqrt{2} e^{-i \frac{\pi}{4}} - \omega^k \right) \\ & = \Pi_{k=0}^{12} \left( \sqrt{2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} - r_k \right) \left( \sqrt{2} e^{-i \frac{\pi}{4}} - r_k \right) \\ & = \left( \Pi_{k=0}^{12} \left( \sqrt{2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} - r_k \right) \right) \left( \Pi_{k=0}^{12} \left( \sqrt{2} e^{-i \frac{\pi}{4}} - r_k \right) \right) . \hspace{1cm} (1) \end{align*} The third equality follows from the above permutation property.
Note that are all zeros of the polynomial . Thus,
Plugging this into Equation (1), we get \begin{align*} (1) & = \left( \left( \sqrt{2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} \right)^{13} - 1 \right) \left( \left( \sqrt{2} e^{-i \frac{\pi}{4}} \right)^{13} - 1 \right) \\ & = \left( - 2^{13/2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} - 1 \right) \left( - 2^{13/2} e^{-i \frac{\pi}{4}} - 1 \right) \\ & = 2^{13} + 1 + 2^{13/2} \cdot 2 \cos \frac{\pi}{4} \\ & = 2^{13} + 1 + 2^7 \\ & = 8321 . \end{align*}
Therefore, the answer is .

Solution 4
Since is a root of unity, and is a prime, we have
by the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. Next, observe that the quadratic factors as
Take the product of the above identity over to get the product of interest \begin{align*} P &:= \prod_{k = 0}^{12}(2 - 2\omega^k + \omega^{2k}) \\ &= \prod_{k = 0}^{12}(1 - i - \omega^k) \cdot \prod_{k = 0}^{12}(1 + i - \omega^k) \\ &= f(1-i) \cdot f(1+i) \\ &= \overline{f(1+i)} \cdot f(1+i) \\ P &= \big| f(1+i) \big|^2. \end{align*} (Here, we use the fact that whenever is a polynomial of real coefficients.) Next, notice that
which means . So
And we are done. Alternatively, to add some geometric flavor, we can also compute by law of cosines.
