对七次方取虚部,把余弦的偶次幂改成正弦。然后取倒数,并将分子分母同除以 sin7θ。

Let c=cosθ and s=sinθ. By de Moivre’s theorem,
cos7θ+isin7θ==(c+is)7c7+7ic6s−21c5s2−35ic4s3+35c3s4+21ic2s5−7cs6−is7.
Taking imaginary parts and using c2=1−s2 gives
sin7θ===7c6s−35c4s3+21c2s5−s77s(1−3s2+3s4−s6)−35s3(1−2s2+s4)+21s5(1−s2)−s77s−56s3+112s5−64s7.
Where the cosecants are defined, taking reciprocals and dividing numerator and denominator by s7 gives
csc7θ=7csc6θ−56csc4θ+112csc2θ−64csc7θ.

将多项式整理为 x7 等于 (a) 分母的两倍。令 x=cscθ,在 [−π/2,π/2] 中寻找七个不同的根。

The equation is x7=2(7x6−56x4+112x2−64). Substituting x=cscθ and using (a) gives csc7θ=2, hence sin7θ=21. The angle 7θ is π/6+2kπ or 5π/6+2kπ for integer k. Restricting θ to [−π/2,π/2] gives
x1=x2=x3=x4=x5=x6=x7=csc(−4219π),csc(−4211π),csc(−427π),csc42π,csc425π,csc4213π,csc4217π.
These seven angles have distinct non-zero sine values, giving seven distinct roots. The polynomial has degree seven, so there are no others.
