Find the value of `(1+cos (pi/8))(1+cos(3pi/8))(1+cos(5pi/8))(1+cos(7pi/8))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`cos(7/8pi)=cos(pi-pi/8)=-cospi/8`
`cos(5/8pi)=cos(pi-3/8pi)=-cos3/8pi`
`(1+cospi/8)(1-cospi/8)(1+cos3/8pi)(1-cos3/8pi)`
`=[1-cos^2pi/8][1-cos^2 3/8pi]`
`=sin^2pi/8*sin^2 3/8pi`
`1/4(2sin^2pi/8)(2sin^2 3/8pi)`
`1/4[(1-cospi/4)(1-cos3/4pi)]`
`1/4[(1-1/sqrt2)(1+1/sqrt2)]`
