Question

Prove that : $c o s \frac{π}{5} c o s \frac{2 π}{5} c o s \frac{4 π}{5} c o s \frac{8 π}{5} = - \frac{1}{16}$

Solution

L.H.S $c o s \frac{π}{5} c o s \frac{2 π}{5} c o s \frac{4 π}{5} c o s \frac{8 π}{5}$

$\Rightarrow c o s A c o s 2 A c o s 2^{2} A c o s 2^{3} A, where A = \frac{π}{5} \Rightarrow \frac{s i n 2^{4} A}{2^{4} s i n A} = \frac{s i n 16 A}{16 s i n A} \Rightarrow \frac{s i n \frac{16 π}{5}}{16 s i n \frac{π}{5}} = \frac{s i n (3 π + \frac{π}{5})}{16 s i n \frac{π}{5}} = \frac{- s i n \frac{π}{5}}{16 s i n \frac{π}{5}} = - \frac{1}{16}$
