trigonometry - Finite Series - reciprocals of sines



Find the sum of the finite series
k=89k=11sin(k)sin((k+1))
This problem was asked in a test in my school.
The answer seems to be cos1sin21 but I do not know how. I have tried reducing it using sum to product formulae and found out the actual value and it agrees well. Haven't been successful in telescoping it.


Answer




HINT:



1sinksin(k+1)=1sin1sin(k+1k)sinksin(k+1)
=1sin1cosksin(k+1)sinkcos(k+1)sinksin(k+1)=1sin1(cotkcot(k+1))



Can you recognize Telescoping series / sum?
