sequences and series - Infinite trigonometry Summation: sumik=1nftyleft(cosfracpi2kcosfracpi2(k+2)right)



I would like to evaluate
k=1(cosπ2kcosπ2(k+2))
Summation image please view before solving



I saw a pattern and realized the answer will converge and the final summation will be 1-(1/√2) but I am going wrong somewhere .Answer given is 2-(1/√2)
Plz help


Answer



This may be seen as a telescoping series, one may write for N1,
Nk=1(cosπ2kcosπ2(k+2))=Nk=1(cosπ2kcosπ2(k+1))+Nk=1(cosπ2(k+1)cosπ2(k+2)) giving
Nk=1(cosπ2kcosπ2(k+2))=(cosπ2cosπ2(N+1))+(cosπ4cosπ2(N+2)) then by letting N, one gets
k=1(cosπ2kcosπ2(k+2))=(01)+(cosπ41)I think you can take it from here.
