If \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) are the roots of the quadratic equation \( x^2 - 2x + 2 = 0 \), then \( \alpha^{2026} + \beta^{2026} = \)
Show Hint
For roots like \( 1 \pm i \), always remember the argument is \( \pm \pi/4 \). If the power \( n \) is such that \( n\theta \) is an odd multiple of \( \pi/2 \), the sum of the powers of the roots will always be zero.
