Hello,

Here is the demonstration in the book Person Guide to Mathematic by Khattar Dinesh.

Let's assume
P=cos(a)*cos(2a)*cos(3a)*....*cos(998a)*cos(999a)
Q=sin(a)*sin(2a)*sin(3a)*....*sin(998a)*sin(999a)

As sin x *cos x=sin (2x) /2

P*Q=1/2*sin(2a)*1/2sin(4a)*1/2*sin(6a)*....
         *1/2* sin(2*998a)*1/2*sin(2*999a) (there are 999 factors)
= 1/(2^999) * sin(2a)*sin(4a)*...
     *sin(998a)*sin(1000a)*sin(1002a)*....*sin(1996a)*sin(1998a)
 as sin(x)=-sin(2pi-x) and 2pi=1999a

sin(1000a)=-sin(2pi-1000a)=-sin(1999a-1000a)=-sin(999a)
sin(1002a)=-sin(2pi-1002a)=-sin(1999a-1002a)=-sin(997a)
...
sin(1996a)=-sin(2pi-1996a)=-sin(1999a-1996a)=-sin(3a)
sin(1998a)=-sin(2pi-1998a)=-sin(1999a-1998a)=-sin(a)

So  sin(2a)*sin(4a)*...
     *sin(998a)*sin(1000a)*sin(1002a)*....*sin(1996a)*sin(1998a)
= sin(a)*sin(2a)*sin(3a)*....*sin(998)*sin(999) since there are 500 sign "-".

Thus
P*Q=1/2^999*Q or Q!=0 then
P=1/(2^999)

Answer:

The value of given expression is \frac{1}{2^{999}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\cos A\cos 2A\cos 3A...........\cos 998A\cos 999A

where, A=\frac{2\pi}{1999}

Let as assume,

P=\cos A\cos 2A\cos 3A...........\cos 998A\cos 999A

Q=\sin A\sin 2A\sin 3A...........\sin 998A\sin 999A

2^{999}PQ=2^{999}(\cos A\cos 2A.........\cos 999A)(\sin A\sin 2A........\sin 999A)

2^{999}PQ=(2\cos A\sin A)(2\cos 2A\sin 2A)...........(2\cos 998A\sin 998A)(2\cos 999A\sin 999A)

Using the formula, 2\sin x\cos x=\sin 2x, we get

2^{999}PQ=\sin 2A\sin 4A......\sin 1998A

2^{999}PQ=[\sin 2A\sin 4A......\sin 998A][-\sin(2\pi -1000A)][-\sin(2\pi -1002A)]...[-\sin(2\pi -1998A)]             .... (1)

Now,

-\sin(2\pi -1000A)=-\sin(2\pi -1000(\frac{2\pi}{1999}))

-\sin(2\pi -1000A)=-\sin(\frac{2\pi\cdot 999}{1999})

-\sin(2\pi -1000A)=-\sin 999A

So, equation (1) can be written as

2^{999}PQ=[\sin 2A\sin 4A......\sin 998A][\sin 999A\sin 997...\sin A]

2^{999}PQ=\sin A\sin 2A\sin 3A...........\sin 998A\sin 999A

2^{999}PQ=Q

Divide both sides by Q.

2^{999}P=1

Divide both sides by 2^{999}

P=\frac{1}{2^{999}}

Therefore the value of given expression is \frac{1}{2^{999}}.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The reviewers can determine the experiment's feasibility.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all this isn't math but the answer is between A & B, typically it is checked for mistakes that could lead to it being flawed. From this It is most likely A due to it being a paper and not an actual experiment, they would be looking for if it COULD happen, not if it WILL happen. They wouldn't add their own findings to someone elses paper, and it typically isn't for funding.
