 cos ((π/7))−cos (((2π)/7))+cos (((3π)/7)) =?
$$\:\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{7}}\right)−\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}\pi}{\mathrm{7}}\right)+\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}\pi}{\mathrm{7}}\right)\:=? \\ $$

 let ϕ = cos ((π/7))−cos (((2π)/7))+cos (((3π)/7))   ϕ = cos ((π/7))+cos (((3π)/7))+cos (((5π)/7))   ⇒2ϕsin t = 2sin t cos t + 2sin t cos 3t+2sin tcos 5t   where t = (π/7)  ⇒2ϕsin t = sin 2t + sin 4t−sin 2t+sin 6t−sin 4t  ⇒2ϕsin t = sin 6t   ⇒ϕ = ((sin (((6π)/7)))/(2 sin ((π/7)))) = (1/2)
