find (a,b,c) in R   cos(a)+cos(b)+cos(c)=0  sin(a)+sin(b)+sin(c)=0
$${find}\:\left({a},{b},{c}\right)\:{in}\:{R}\: \\ $$$${cos}\left({a}\right)+{cos}\left({b}\right)+{cos}\left({c}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${sin}\left({a}\right)+{sin}\left({b}\right)+{sin}\left({c}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$

we have only 2 equations in 3 variables ⇒  we are free to choose one  let a=0  1+cos b +cos c =0  sin b +sin c =0  let cos b =x∧cos c =y ⇒ sin b =±(√(1−x^2 ))∧sin c =±(√(1−y^2 ))  1+x+y=0 ⇒ y=−x−1  (√(1−x^2 ))−(√(1−y^2 ))=0 ⇒ 1−x^2 =1−y^2   1−x^2 =1−(−x−1)^2   1−x^2 =−2x−x^2   x=−(1/2) ⇒ y=−(1/2) ⇒  ⇒ cos b =cos c =−(1/2) ⇒  ⇒ b=c=±((2π)/3)+2πz∧z∈Z but sin b =−sin c ⇒  a=α∈R  b=α±((2π)/3)+2πz_1 ∧c=α∓((2π)/3)+2πz_2 ∧z_1 , z_2 ∈Z
