but cos (π/7) does solve the equation...  the other roots are cos ((3π)/7) and cos ((5π)/7)  8(x−cos (π/7))(x−cos ((3π)/7))(x−cos ((5π)/7))≈  ≈8(x−.900 968 868)(x−.222 520 934)(x+.623 489 801)≈  ≈8x^3 −4x^2 −4x+1

I still don′t understand why you did what you  did. it works exactly the sane way with the  given value  7a=π  4a=π−3a  cos 4a =−cos 3a  a=arccos c  8c^4 −8c^2 +1=3c−4c^3   8c^4 +4c^3 −8c^2 −3c+1=0  (c+1)(8c^3 −4c^2 −4c+1)=0  a=(π/7) ⇒ cos (π/7) is a root of the given equation

sir your answer also correct...you have taken  7a=π   and i have taken 7a=2π  both are correct...equation are different...  i thought 7a=2π   so i did it...  your anzwer is as per givven condition in auestion  g
