The roots of the equation Z 3 − α 3 = 0 can be expressed as, β = cos ( A 1 ) + i sin ( A 1 ) , γ = cos ( A 2 ) + i sin ( A 2 ) , δ = cos ( A 3 ) + i sin ( A 3 ) . Since β + γ + δ = 0 , so
( cos ( A 1 ) + cos ( A 2 ) + cos ( A 3 ) ) + i ( sin ( A 1 ) + sin ( A 2 ) + sin ( A 3 ) ) = 0
Therefore, ( cos ( A 1 ) + cos ( A 2 ) + cos ( A 3 ) ) = ( sin ( A 1 ) + sin ( A 2 ) + sin ( A 3 ) ) = 0 .
Hence ∑ n = 1 n = 3 cos ( A n ) + sin ( A n ) = 0 : )
