An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The given equation is not true.
An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.
The complete question is: Check whether the given equation is true or not?cos2pi/7+cos4pi/7+cos8pi/7=1/8.
To know if the given equation, [tex]cos\dfrac{2\pi}{7}+cos\dfrac{4\pi}{7}+cos\dfrac{8\pi}{7}=\dfrac18[/tex] is true or not, both the sides of the equation are needed to be solved separately.
The value of [tex]cos\dfrac{2\pi}{7}+cos\dfrac{4\pi}{7}+cos\dfrac{8\pi}{7}[/tex] when simplified is equal to -0.5, or the value can be written as -(1/2).
Since the right side of the equation is equal to -1/2, while the right side of the equation is 1/8. Thus, the given equation is not true.
Hence, the given equation is not true.
