For α=π7 which of the following hold(s) good?
tanαtan2αtan3α=tan3α−tan2α−tanα
cosecα=cosec2α+cosec4α
cosα−cos2α+cos3α=12
8cosαcos2αcos4α=1
1. tanαtan2αtan3α=tan3α−tan2α−tanα
always holds good
2.
R.H.S. =sin4α+sin2αsin2αsin4α=2sin3αcosαsin2αsin4α=2sin4α⋅cosαsin2α⋅sin4α
=1sinα=cosecα( using π/7=α)
Hence, (b) is correct.
Also,
3 . cos2α=cos2π7=−cosπ−5π7=−cos5π7=−cos5α
.
cosα+cos3α+cos5α=sin3αsinαcos3α=sin6α2sinα=sin6π72sinπ7=sinπ+π72sinπ7=12
4.
8cosαcos2αcos4α=sin8αsinα=sin8π7sinπ7=−sinπ7sinπ7=−1
