Compute $\sum^{2024}_{k=1} \frac{2023-2022 \cos \left(\frac{\pi(2k-1)}{2024} \right)}{2021-2020 \cos \left(\frac{\pi(2k-1)}{2024} \right)}$

Question: Compute $$\sum^{2024}_{k=1} \frac{2023-2022 \cos \left(\frac{\pi(2k-1)}{2024} \right)}{2021-2020 \cos \left(\frac{\pi(2k-1)}{2024} \right)}$$ I began by rearranging the sum as follows: $$\...

If $\sin 5°+\sin 10°+\sin15°+\cdots+\sin 40°=a$, then $\sin 5°+\sin 10°+\sin15°+\cdots+\sin 175°=?$

I'm stuck in this question If $\sin 5°+\sin 10°+\sin15°+\cdots+\sin 40°=a$ $\sin 5°+\sin 10°+\sin15°+\cdots+\sin 175°=?$ I know that, (I asked before) $\sin 5°+\sin 10°+\sin15°+\cdots+\sin 175°=\tan\...

Find the $\frac mn$ if $T=\sin 5°+\sin10°+\sin 15°+\cdots+\sin175°=\tan \frac mn$

It's really embarrassing to be able to doesn't solve this simple-looking trigonometry question. $$T=\sin(5^\circ) +\sin(10^\circ) + \sin(15^\circ) + \cdots +\sin(175^\circ) =\tan \frac mn$$ Find the ...
