Let c = cos θ c=\cos\theta c = cos θ and s = sin θ s=\sin\theta s = sin θ . By de Moivre’s theorem,
( c + i s ) 4 = c 4 + 4 i c 3 s − 6 c 2 s 2 − 4 i c s 3 + s 4 . (c+\mathrm{i}s)^4=c^4+4\mathrm{i}c^3s-6c^2s^2-4\mathrm{i}cs^3+s^4. ( c + i s ) 4 = c 4 + 4 i c 3 s − 6 c 2 s 2 − 4 i c s 3 + s 4 .
Taking real parts,
cos 4 θ = c 4 − 6 c 2 s 2 + s 4 = c 4 − 6 c 2 ( 1 − c 2 ) + ( 1 − c 2 ) 2 = 8 c 4 − 8 c 2 + 1. \begin{align*}
\cos4\theta=&\,c^4-6c^2s^2+s^4\\
=&\,c^4-6c^2(1-c^2)+(1-c^2)^2\\
=&\,8c^4-8c^2+1.
\end{align*} cos 4 θ = = = c 4 − 6 c 2 s 2 + s 4 c 4 − 6 c 2 ( 1 − c 2 ) + ( 1 − c 2 ) 2 8 c 4 − 8 c 2 + 1.

The equation gives ( 8 x 4 − 8 x 2 + 1 ) 4 = 9 / 16 (8x^4-8x^2+1)^4=9/16 ( 8 x 4 − 8 x 2 + 1 ) 4 = 9/16 . If ∣ x ∣ > 1 |x|>1 ∣ x ∣ > 1 , then 8 x 4 − 8 x 2 + 1 = 1 + 8 x 2 ( x 2 − 1 ) > 1 8x^4-8x^2+1=1+8x^2(x^2-1)>1 8 x 4 − 8 x 2 + 1 = 1 + 8 x 2 ( x 2 − 1 ) > 1 , so there are no such roots. Write x = cos θ x=\cos\theta x = cos θ with 0 ≤ θ ≤ π 0\le\theta\le\pi 0 ≤ θ ≤ π . By (b),
cos 4 θ = ± 3 2 . \cos4\theta=\pm\frac{\sqrt3}{2}. cos 4 θ = ± 2 3 .
On 0 ≤ 4 θ ≤ 4 π 0\le4\theta\le4\pi 0 ≤ 4 θ ≤ 4 π , the possible values of 4 θ 4\theta 4 θ are q 0 π / 6 q_0\pi/6 q 0 π /6 with q 0 = 1 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 , 19 , 23 q_0=1,5,7,11,13,17,19,23 q 0 = 1 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 , 19 , 23 . Thus the real roots are
x 1 = cos π 24 , x 2 = cos 5 π 24 , x 3 = cos 7 π 24 , x 4 = cos 11 π 24 , x 5 = cos 13 π 24 , x 6 = cos 17 π 24 , x 7 = cos 19 π 24 , x 8 = cos 23 π 24 . \begin{align*}
x_1=&\,\cos\frac\pi{24},& x_2=&\,\cos\frac{5\pi}{24},\\
x_3=&\,\cos\frac{7\pi}{24},& x_4=&\,\cos\frac{11\pi}{24},\\

x_7=&\,\cos\frac{19\pi}{24},& x_8=&\,\cos\frac{23\pi}{24}.
\end{align*} x 1 = x 3 = x 5 = x 7 = cos 24 π , cos 24 7 π , cos 24 13 π , cos 24 19 π , x 2 = x 4 = x 6 = x 8 = cos 24 5 π , cos 24 11 π , cos 24 17 π , cos 24 23 π .
