1+2cosθ=sin(3θ2)sin(θ2)
I get as a result for the product:
sin(π3n3n+1)sin(π3n+1)=1
The way to get this result is to let θ0=2π3n+1. The product is then
sin(3θ02)sin(θ02)sin(32θ02)sin(3θ02)sin(3nθ02)sin(3n1θ02)
The product telescopes, so we are left with just the last term in the numerator and the first term in the denominator. The result follows.
