AI Generated Solution

To prove that \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{7}\right) \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{7}\right) \cos\left(\frac{4\pi}{7}\right) = -\frac{1}{8} \), we will follow a systematic approach using trigonometric identities. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Start with the Left-Hand Side (LHS)**: \[ LHS = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{7}\right) \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{7}\right) \cos\left(\frac{4\pi}{7}\right) \] ...
