To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \(\frac{\cos A}{a} + \frac{\cos B}{b} + \frac{\cos C}{c}\) given that the sides \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are the roots of the polynomial \(x^3 - 11x^2 + 38x - 40 = 0\). ### Step 1: Find the roots of the polynomial The roots of the polynomial \(x^3 - 11x^2 + 38x - 40 = 0\) can be found using Vieta's formulas: - The sum of the roots \(a + b + c = 11\) - The sum of the product of the roots taken two at a time \(ab + bc + ca = 38\) - The product of the roots \(abc = 40\) ...
