Question
Prove that: $\cos3\text{A}+\cos5\text{A}+\cos7\text{A}+\cos15\text{A}=4\cos4\text{A}\cos5\text{A}\cos6\text{A}$

Answer

We have, $\text{LHS}=\cos3\text{A}+\cos5\text{A}+\cos7\text{A}+\cos15\text{A}$ $=\ [\cos5\text{A}+\cos3\text{A}]+[\cos15\text{A}+\cos7\text{A}]$ $=\ \Big[2\cos\frac{5\text{A}+3\text{A}}{2}\cos\frac{5\text{A}-3\text{A}}{2}\Big]+\Big[2\cos\frac{15\text{A}+7\text{A}}{2}\cos\frac{15\text{A}-7\text{A}}{2}\Big]$ $=\ 2\cos4\text{A}\cos\text{A}+2\cos11\text{A}\cos4\text{A}$ $=\ 2\cos4\text{A}[\cos\text{A}+\cos11\text{A}]$ $=\ 2\cos4\text{A}[\cos11\text{A}+\cos\text{A}]$ $=\ 2\cos4\text{A}\Big[2\cos\frac{(11\text{A}+\text{A)}}{2}\cos\frac{(11\text{A}-\text{A})}{2}\Big]$ $=\ 4\cos\text{A}[\cos6\text{A}\cos5\text{A}]$ $=\ 4\cos4\text{A}\cos5\text{A}\cos6\text{A}$ $=\ \text{RHS}$ $\therefore\ \cos3\text{A}+\cos5\text{A}+\cos7\text{A}+\cos15\text{A}=4\cos4\text{A}\cos5\text{A}\cos6\text{A}$ Hence proved.
