![(x−2cos ((2π)/7))(x−2cos ((4π)/7))(x−cos ((6π)/7))=0 approximating leads to x^3 +x^2 −2x−1=0 we have to show that −2(cos ((2π)/7)+cos ((4π)/7) +cos ((6π)/7))=1 4(cos ((2π)/7) cos ((4π)/7) +cos ((2π)/7) cos ((6π)/7) +cos ((4π)/7) cos ((6π)/7))=−2 −8cos ((2π)/7) cos ((4π)/7) cos ((6π)/7) =−1 or: x^3 +x^2 −2x−1=0 the solutions (following trigonometric method) are x_1 =−(1/3)+((2(√7))/3)sin ((π/3)+(1/3)arcsin ((√7)/(14))) x_2 =−(1/3)−((2(√7))/3)cos ((π/6)+(1/3)arcsin ((√7)/(14))) x_3 =−(1/3)−((2(√7))/3)sin ((1/3)arcsin ((√7)/(14))) we have to show that x_1 =2cos ((2π)/7); x_2 =2cos ((6π)/7); x_3 =2cos ((4π)/7)](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q68369.png)
