Problem 385: (2021 AMC12A, 22)
Suppose that the roots of the polynomial $P(x)=x^3+ax^2+bx+c$ are $\cos \frac{2\pi}7,\cos \frac{4\pi}7,$ and $\cos \frac{6\pi}7$, where angles are in radians. What is $abc$? $\textbf{(A) }{-}\frac{3}{49} \qquad$ $ \textbf{(B) }{-}\frac{1}{28} \qquad$ $ \textbf{(C) }\frac{\sqrt[3]7}{64} \qquad$ $ \textbf{(D) }\frac{1}{32}\qquad$ $ \textbf{(E) }\frac{1}{28}$
Solution
