To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the expression: \[ \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{7}\right) + \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{7}\right) + \cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{7}\right) + \cos\left(\frac{4\pi}{7}\right) + \cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{7}\right) + \cos\left(\frac{6\pi}{7}\right) + \cos\left(\frac{7\pi}{7}\right) \] ### Step 1: Recognize the periodicity and symmetry of cosine Notice that \(\cos\left(\frac{7\pi}{7}\right) = \cos(\pi) = -1\). So we can rewrite the expression as: ...
