Question

If origin is the orthocentre of the triangle with vertices A(cosα,sinα)B(cosβ,sinβ) and C(cosγ,sinγ) then cos(2αβγ)+ cos(2βγα)+cos(2γαβ)=

Moderate
Solution

OA = OB = OC

Circumcentre  S = (0,0)

Orthocentre O = (0,0)

Triangle is equilateral

cosα+cosβ+cosγ3,sinα+sinβ+sinγ3=(0,0)

cosα+cosβ+cosγ=0(1)

sinα+sinβ+sinγ=0(2)

x=cosα+i sinα, y=cosβ+isinβ, z=cosγ+isinγ x+y+z=0 x3+y3+z3=3xyz x2yz+y2xz+z2xy=3  cos(2αβγ)=3
