To simplify the expression 2cos(4π/7)/sin(π/14), we first need to recall the trigonometric identity: cos(2θ) = 2cos^2(θ) - 1.
We can rewrite our expression using this identity as follows:
2cos(4π/7) / sin(π/14) = 2cos(2 * 2π/7) / sin(π/14)
= 2(2cos^2(2π/7) - 1) / sin(π/14)
= 4cos^2(2π/7) / sin(π/14) - 2 / sin(π/14)
Next, we need to simplify the expression further using the double angle identity: cos(2θ) = 2cos^2(θ) - 1.
We know that cos(2π/7) = cos(π/7 + π/7) = cos(π/7)cos(π/7) - sin(π/7)sin(π/7) = cos^2(π/7) - sin^2(π/7).
Therefore, cos^2(2π/7) = (cos^2(π/7) - sin^2(π/7))^2 = cos^4(π/7) - 2cos^2(π/7)sin^2(π/7) + sin^4(π/7).
After substituting this back into our expression, we get:
4cos^4(π/7) - 8cos^2(π/7)sin^2(π/7) + 4sin^4(π/7) / sin(π/14) - 2 / sin(π/14)
Since sin(π/14) = sin^2(π/14) + cos^2(π/14) and sin^2(π/14) + cos^2(π/14) = 1, the expression becomes:
4cos^4(π/7) - 8cos^2(π/7)sin^2(π/7) + 4sin^4(π/7) / sin(π/14) - 2 / sin(π/14)= 4cos^4(π/7) - 8sin^2(π/7)cos^2(π/7) + 4sin^4(π/7)
Therefore, the simplified expression is 4cos^4(π/7) - 8sin^2(π/7)cos^2(π/7) + 4sin^4(π/7).

4cos^4(π/7) - 8cos^2(π/7)sin^2(π/7) + 4sin^4(π/7) / sin(π/14) - 2 / sin(π/14)
Since sin(π/14) = sin^2(π/14) + cos^2(π/14) and sin^2(π/14) + cos^2(π/14) = 1, the expression becomes:
4cos^4(π/7) - 8cos^2(π/7)sin^2(π/7) + 4sin^4(π/7) / sin(π/14) - 2 / sin(π/14)
= 4cos^4(π/7) - 8sin^2(π/7)cos^2(π/7) + 4sin^4(π/7)
Therefore, the simplified expression is 4cos^4(π/7) - 8sin^2(π/7)cos^2(π/7) + 4sin^4(π/7).
