  • Your notation seems to be rather confusing - it is not clear what do you mean. Try to write the formulae in a more usual way in your questions. I only guess it may be

    2 * cos(π/13) * cos(9π/13) + cos(3π/13) + cos(5π/13) ?

    If it is true, then by using the formulae

    cos(θ) * cos(φ) = (cos(θ+φ) + cos(θ-φ)) / 2

    cos(θ) + cos(φ) = 2 * cos((θ+φ)/2) + cos((θ-φ)/2)

    (see the source) and the well-known formula cos(π/2) = 0 we get

    2 * cos(π/13) * cos(9π/13) + cos(3π/13) + cos(5π/13) =

    cos(10π/13) + cos(8π/13) + cos(3π/13) + cos(5π/13) =

    [cos(10π/13) + cos(3π/13)] + [cos(8π/13) +cos(5π/13)] =

    2*cos(π/2)*cos(7π/26) + 2*cos(π/2)*cos(3π/26) = 0
