To prove that \((1 + \cos \frac{\pi}{8})(1 + \cos \frac{3\pi}{8})(1 + \cos \frac{5\pi}{8})(1 + \cos \frac{7\pi}{8}) = \frac{1}{8}\), follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify the Cosine Terms Rewrite the cosine terms using the identity \(\cos(\pi - \theta) = -\cos(\theta)\): \[ \cos \frac{5\pi}{8} = \cos \left(\pi - \frac{3\pi}{8}\right) = -\cos \frac{3\pi}{8} \] \[ ...
