who answers correctly first shall be accepted as correct
 
ok here is the problem
 
cos /7 . cos 2/7 . cos 4/7............
answer with steps pls.... I tried it but i'm goin wrong somewhere so i'm not gettin the right answer.......
 
oops guys ...... typed the q wrong !!!!
its only
cos /7 . cos 2/7 . cos 4/7

not sure but is it tending to zero??
 
on simplifying u get sin (2n+1pi/7)        ----------- first generalising for n terms.
 .                              2n sin(pi/7)
 
now as n tends to infi. this expression tends to zero. as sin ( ) is going to be from [-1,1] but 2n will tend to infinitely large value so the whole expression wud tend to zero.

y=cos(pi/7).cos(2pi/7).cos(4pi/7)............
for n terms
2^n * sin(pi/7).y=2^n * sin(pi/7).cos(pi/7).cos(2pi/7).cos(4pi/7)....cos(2^npi/7)
2^n * sin(pi/7).y=2^n-1 * sin(2pi/7).cos(2pi/7).cos(4pi/7)....cos(2^npi/7)
.
.
.
2^n *sin(pi/7).y = 2sin2^n(pi/7).cos2^n(pi/7)
2^n *sin(pi/7).y = sin2^n+1(pi/7)
y=[sin2^n+1(pi+7)]/2^n*sin(pi/7)
now as n -> inf.
lim   y=  (sin2^n+1(pi/7))    
n->inf    ----------------  ---->0
          (2^n) .sin(pi/7)

Let y = cos/7 cos2/7 cos4/7 .....
y(2sin/7) = (2sin/7cos/7) cos2/7 cos4/7 .....upto n terms
y(2sin/7) = sin2/7 cos2/7 cos4/7 .....upto n terms
y(22sin/7)  = (2sin2/7 cos2/7) cos4/7 .....upto n terms
y(22sin/7) = sin4/7 cos4/7 .....upto n terms
Similarly
y(2nsin/7) = sin2n+1/7
y= sin2n+1/7/2nsin/7
The required sum is
S = n y =  n sin2n+1/7/2nsin/7 = 0
As the Nr is a bounded quantity lying between -1 and 1. So it has a finite value. The Dr increases without bound. Hence the quotient approaches zero.

Cos /7 . cos 2 /7 . cos 4 / 7
 
Remember there is a formula such as :
CosA.Cos2A.Cos22A.Cos23A..................Cos2n-1A
=Sin2n A / 2n Sin A
 
so then we will get
where "A"= /7
 
=Sin 23 /7 / 8 sin/7 
 
=Sin 8/7 / 8 Sin/7
 
=1/8
 
Therefore the answer is 1/8
 
plZ rate me for my efforts
Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

impossible the answer has to be 1/8 and nothing else

I advise u to check the problem again

@waterdemon...it has to b -1/8

u 4got dat (sin 8pi/7)/(sin pi/7) = -1 not 1!!!

look it's easy.
multiply & divide by 2sin/7.
we get
[sin2/7 cos2/7cos4/7]/2sin/7
multiply &divide by2
[sin4/7 cos4/7]/4sin/7
again by 2
{sin8/7}/8sin/7
 
= -1/8

even according to formula its 1/8!!

sin 8pi/7 = -sin pi/7
