Solution

From Demoivre's theorem we know that
sin(2n+1)α=2n+1C1(cosα)2nsinα2n+1C3(cosα)2n2sin3α+.......+(1)nsin2n+1α
or sin(2n+1)α=sin2n+1α{2n+1C1cot2nα2n+1C3cot2n2α+2n+1C5cot2n4α.....}
It follows that for
α=π2n+1,2π2n+1,3π2n+1,.......,nπ2n+1
Therefore equality holds
2n+1C1cot2nα2n+1C3cot2n2α+2n+1C5cot2n4α.......=0
It follows that the numbers
cot2π2n+1,cot22π2n+1,......,cot2nπ2n+1
are the roots of the equation
2n+1C1xn2n+1C3xn1+2n+1C5xn2.......=0 of nth degree.
