We aren't here to do the work for you; we ask you to show your own thinking, so we can help you go further. See our submission guidelines.

The first thing I see here is the cosines of multiple angles, which suggests a connection to the fact that [MATH](\cos\theta + i \sin\theta)^n = \cos(n\theta) + i \sin(n\theta)[/MATH]. Is that something you are familiar with?

Try writing the polynomial, with x replaced by [MATH]\cos\theta + i \sin\theta[/MATH], with that in mind.

You are given the polynomial \(\displaystyle P(z) = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {{a_k}{z^k}} = 0\) with \(\displaystyle z_0=\cos(\theta)+i\sin(\theta)\) is a root.
Notation: \(\displaystyle z_0=\cos(\theta)+i\sin(\theta)=cis(\theta)=exp(i\theta)\)
To do this one needs to know these facts \(\displaystyle (z_0)^k=\cos(k\theta)+i\sin(k\theta)=cis(k\theta)=exp(ik\theta)\)
By definition of a root we know that means \(\displaystyle P(z_0) = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {{a_k}{(z_0)^k}} = 0\)
OR \(\displaystyle \sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {{a_k}\cos (k\theta )} + i\sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {{a_k}\sin (k\theta )} = 0\)
If a complex number \(\displaystyle P(z_0)\) is equal to zero then \(\displaystyle \Re(P(z_0))=?\)
