Solution
\[\text{ Let p } \left( n \right): \cos\alpha + \cos\left( \alpha + \beta \right) + \cos\left( \alpha + 2\beta \right) + . . . + \cos\left[ \alpha + \left( n - 1 \right)\beta \right] = \frac{\cos\left\{ \alpha + \left( \frac{n - 1}{2} \right)\beta \right\}\sin\left( \frac{n\beta}{2} \right)}{\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)} \forall n \in N . \]
\[\text{ Step I: For } n = 1, \]
\[LHS = \cos\left[ \alpha + \left( 1 - 1 \right)\beta \right] = \cos\alpha\]
\[RHS = \frac{\cos\left\{ \alpha + \left( \frac{1 - 1}{2} \right)\beta \right\}\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)}{\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)} = \cos\alpha\]
\[\text{ As, LHS = RHS } \]
\[\text{ So, it is true for n = 1 .} \]
\[\text{ Step II: For n = k,} \]
\[ \text{ Let } p\left( k \right): \cos\alpha + \cos\left( \alpha + \beta \right) + \cos\left( \alpha + 2\beta \right) + . . . + \cos\left[ \alpha + \left( k - 1 \right)\beta \right] = \frac{\cos\left\{ \alpha + \left( \frac{k - 1}{2} \right)\beta \right\}\sin\left( \frac{k\beta}{2} \right)}{\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)} \text{ be true } \forall k \in N . \]
\[\text{ Step III: For n } = k + 1, \]
\[LHS = \cos\alpha + \cos\left( \alpha + \beta \right) + \cos\left( \alpha + 2\beta \right) + . . . + \cos\left[ \alpha + \left( k - 1 \right)\beta \right] + \cos\left[ \alpha + \left( k + 1 - 1 \right)\beta \right]\]
\[ = \frac{\cos\left\{ \alpha + \left( \frac{k - 1}{2} \right)\beta \right\}\sin\left( \frac{k\beta}{2} \right)}{\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)} + \cos\left( \alpha + k\beta \right)\]
\[ = \frac{\cos\left\{ \alpha + \left( \frac{k - 1}{2} \right)\beta \right\}\sin\left( \frac{k\beta}{2} \right) + \sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)\cos\left( \alpha + k\beta \right)}{\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{\sin\left( \alpha + k\beta - \frac{\beta}{2} \right) - \sin\left( \alpha - \frac{\beta}{2} \right) + \sin\left( \alpha + k\beta + \frac{\beta}{2} \right) - \sin\left( \alpha + k\beta - \frac{\beta}{2} \right)}{2\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{- \sin\left( \alpha - \frac{\beta}{2} \right) + \sin\left( \alpha + k\beta + \frac{\beta}{2} \right)}{2\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{2\cos\left( \frac{2\alpha + k\beta}{2} \right)\sin\left( \frac{k\beta + \beta}{2} \right)}{2\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{\cos\left( \alpha + \frac{k\beta}{2} \right)\sin\left( \frac{\left( k + 1 \right)\beta}{2} \right)}{\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)}\]
\[RHS = \frac{\cos\left\{ \alpha + \left( \frac{k + 1 - 1}{2} \right)\beta \right\}\sin\left( \frac{\left( k + 1 \right)\beta}{2} \right)}{\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{\cos\left( \alpha + \frac{k\beta}{2} \right)\sin\left( \frac{\left( k + 1 \right)\beta}{2} \right)}{\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)}\]
\[As, LHS = RHS\]
\[\text{ So, it is also true for n = k + 1 .} \]
\[\text{ Hence,} \cos\alpha + \cos\left( \alpha + \beta \right) + \cos\left( \alpha + 2\beta \right) + . . . + \cos\left[ \alpha + \left( n - 1 \right)\beta \right] = \frac{\cos\left\{ \alpha + \left( \frac{n - 1}{2} \right)\beta \right\}\sin\left( \frac{n\beta}{2} \right)}{\sin\left( \frac{\beta}{2} \right)} \text{ for all } n \in N .\]
