He means that if α,β are roots of ax2+bx+c=0 then α2,β2 are also roots of the same equation.

let the roots be p, q

then p2, q2 are also the roots..

ie p=p2, q=q2

The possibilities it leaves are 1, 1 or 1, 0 or 0, 0

Now also if we have p=q2 and q=p2 leaves us with the possibilities that p=w or w2

Thus, there should be 4 such equations...

namely

x2, x2-x, (x-1)2, 1+x+x2

thats the complete list. but since only real solutions are allowed, you get 3 quadratics that fit the bill.

omega and omega ^2 if non-real was allowed :).
