Vedclass · Answer

(A) Let $P = \cos \alpha_1 \cos \alpha_2 \ldots \cos \alpha_n$. Then $\frac{1}{P^2} = \frac{1}{\cos^2 \alpha_1 \cos^2 \alpha_2 \ldots \cos^2 \alpha_n} = \sec^2 \alpha_1 \sec^2 \alpha_2 \ldots \sec^2 \alpha_n$. Using the identity $\sec^2 \alpha = 1 + 	an^2 \alpha$, we have: $\frac{1}{P^2} = (1 + 	an^2 \alpha_1)(1 + 	an^2 \alpha_2) \ldots (1 + 	an^2 \alpha_n)$. By the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean ($AM$-$GM$) inequality, $1 + 	an^2 \alpha_i \geq 2 	an \alpha_i$. Therefore, $\frac{1}{P^2} \geq (2 	an \alpha_1)(2 	an \alpha_2) \ldots (2 	an \alpha_n) = 2^n (	an \alpha_1 	an \alpha_2 \ldots 	an \alpha_n)$. Since $(\cot \alpha_1)(\cot \alpha_2) \ldots (\cot \alpha_n) = 1$, it follows that $(	an \alpha_1)(	an \alpha_2) \ldots (	an \alpha_n) = 1$. Thus, $\frac{1}{P^2} \geq 2^n$, which implies $P^2 \leq \frac{1}{2^n}$. Taking the square root, $P \leq \frac{1}{2^{n/2}}$. The maximum value is $\frac{1}{2^{n/2}}$.

If $(\cot \alpha_1)(\cot \alpha_2) \ldots (\cot \alpha_n) = 1$ where $0 < \alpha_1, \alpha_2, \ldots, \alpha_n < \pi/2$, then the maximum value of $(\cos \alpha_1)(\cos \alpha_2) \ldots (\cos \alpha_n)$ is given by
