(C) Given $\cos 	heta = \frac{1}{2}\left( a + \frac{1}{a} ight).$ Using the identity $\cos 3	heta = 4\cos^3 	heta - 3\cos 	heta,$ $\cos 3	heta = 4 \left[ \frac{1}{2} \left( a + \frac{1}{a} ight) ight]^3 - 3 \left[ \frac{1}{2} \left( a + \frac{1}{a} ight) ight]$ $\cos 3	heta = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{8} \left( a + \frac{1}{a} ight)^3 - \frac{3}{2} \left( a + \frac{1}{a} ight)$ $\cos 3	heta = \frac{1}{2} \left( a + \frac{1}{a} ight) \left[ \left( a + \frac{1}{a} ight)^2 - 3 ight]$ $\cos 3	heta = \frac{1}{2} \left( a + \frac{1}{a} ight) \left[ a^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{a^2} - 3 ight]$ $\cos 3	heta = \frac{1}{2} \left( a + \frac{1}{a} ight) \left( a^2 - 1 + \frac{1}{a^2} ight)$ $\cos 3	heta = \frac{1}{2} \left( a^3 - a + \frac{1}{a} + a - \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{a^3} ight)$ $\cos 3	heta = \frac{1}{2} \left( a^3 + \frac{1}{a^3} ight).$
