Set y = cos x . Hence, the domain for y is [ 0 , 1 ] . We have 4 y 3 − 1 2 y 2 − 1 9 y + 1 2 = 0 . Factor out the equation 2 ( y − 2 1 ) ( y + 2 3 ) ( y − 4 ) = 0 . Then y = 2 1 or x = 6 π . Plug the value of x into 2nd equation f ( n ) = sin 6 π + sin 6 2 π + sin 6 3 π + . . . + sin 6 n π or f ( n ) = 2 ( 3 ) + 2 ( 3 ) + 1 − 2 ( 3 ) − 2 ( 3 ) − 1 + . . . + sin 6 n π = ( 3 ) . It is just right for the first 2 terms of the function, so n = 2
