Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let $S = \cos \frac{2 \pi}{7} + \cos \frac{4 \pi}{7} + \cos \frac{6 \pi}{7}$.Multiply by $2 \sin \frac{\pi}{7}$:$2 \sin \frac{\pi}{7} S = 2 \sin \frac{\pi}{7} \cos \frac{2 \pi}{7} + 2 \sin \frac{\pi}{7} \cos \frac{4 \pi}{7} + 2 \sin \frac{\pi}{7} \cos \frac{6 \pi}{7}$.Using $2 \sin A \cos B = \sin(A+B) - \sin(B-A)$:$2 \sin \frac{\pi}{7} S = (\sin \frac{3 \pi}{7} - \sin \frac{\pi}{7}) + (\sin \frac{5 \pi}{7} - \sin \frac{3 \pi}{7}) + (\sin \frac{7 \pi}{7} - \sin \frac{5 \pi}{7})$.All terms cancel out except $\sin \frac{7 \pi}{7} - \sin \frac{\pi}{7}$.Since $\sin \pi = 0$, we have $2 \sin \frac{\pi}{7} S = -\sin \frac{\pi}{7}$.Since $\sin \frac{\pi}{7} 
eq 0$, we get $S = -\frac{1}{2}$.Thus, the sum is a negative number.
