Solution

\[LHS = \cos^2 \frac{\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \frac{5\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \frac{7\pi}{8}\]

\[ = \cos^2 \frac{\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \left( \pi - \frac{3\pi}{8} \right) + \cos^2 \left( \pi - \frac{\pi}{8} \right)\]

\[ = \cos^2 \frac{\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \left\{ - \cos\left( \frac{3\pi}{8} \right) \right\}^2 + \left\{ - \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) \right\}^2\]

\[= \cos^2 \frac{\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \frac{\pi}{8}\]

\[ = 2\left( \cos^2 \frac{\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} \right)\]

\[ = 2\left\{ \cos^2 \frac{\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{8} \right) \right\}\]

\[ = 2\left( \cos^2 \frac{\pi}{8} + \sin^2 \frac{\pi}{8} \right)\]

\[ = 2 = RHS\]

\[\text{ Hence proved } .\]
