To prove that \( \cos^2 x + \cos^2 \left( x + \frac{\pi}{3} \right) + \cos^2 \left( x - \frac{\pi}{3} \right) = \frac{3}{2} \), we will start by simplifying the left-hand side step by step. ### Step 1: Write down the expression We start with the expression: \[ LHS = \cos^2 x + \cos^2 \left( x + \frac{\pi}{3} \right) + \cos^2 \left( x - \frac{\pi}{3} \right) \] ...
