Problem
Let 
What is the value of
![\[\frac{\sin 3c \cdot \sin 6c \cdot \sin 9c \cdot \sin 12c \cdot \sin 15c}{\sin c \cdot \sin 2c \cdot \sin 3c \cdot \sin 4c \cdot \sin 5c}?\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/5/c/b/5cb66360bc69b72e86eac3564c26bae7fd577bc9.png)
Solution
Plugging in 
, we get
![\[\frac{\sin 3c \cdot \sin 6c \cdot \sin 9c \cdot \sin 12c \cdot \sin 15c}{\sin c \cdot \sin 2c \cdot \sin 3c \cdot \sin 4c \cdot \sin 5c}=\frac{\sin \frac{6\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{12\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{18\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{24\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{30\pi}{11}}{\sin \frac{2\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{4\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{6\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{8\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{10\pi}{11}}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/f/8/ff84ea1918eb8039edc31877eb63ca11dfef1986.png)
Since 
and 
we get
![\[\frac{\sin \frac{6\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{12\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{18\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{24\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{30\pi}{11}}{\sin \frac{2\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{4\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{6\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{8\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{10\pi}{11}}=\frac{\sin \frac{6\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{-10\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{-4\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{2\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{8\pi}{11}}{\sin \frac{2\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{4\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{6\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{8\pi}{11} \cdot \sin \frac{10\pi}{11}}=\boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 1}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/7/e/e7e5d4583710682a595b107182f40d55b4cad8b7.png)
