Solution

The value of `cos  pi/5 cos  (2pi)/5 cos  (4pi)/5 cos  (8pi)/5`  is `(-1)/16`.

Explanation:

We have `cos  pi/5 cos  (2pi)/5 cos  (4pi)/5 cos  (8pi)/5` 

= `1/(2sin  pi/5) 2sin  pi/5 cos  pi/5 cos  (2pi)/5 cos  (4pi)/5 cos  (8pi)/5`

= `1/(2sin  pi/5) sin  (2pi)/5 cos  (2pi)/5 cos  (4pi)/5 cos  (8pi)/5`

= `1/(4sin  pi/5) sin  (4pi)/5 cos  (4pi)/5 cos  (8pi)/5`

= `1/(8sin  pi/5) sin  (8pi)/5 cos  (8pi)/5`

= `(sin  (16pi)/5)/(16sin  pi/5)`

= `(sin(3pi + pi/5))/(16sin  pi/5)`

= `(-sin  pi/5)/(16sin  pi/5)`

= `(-1)/16`
