The complex numbers $${z_1},\,{z_2}$$ and $${z_3}$$ satisfying $${{{z_1} - {z_3}} \over {{z_2} - {z_3}}} = {{1 - i\sqrt 3 } \over 2}\,$$ are the vertices of a triangle which is

The number of distinct real roots of $$\left| {\matrix{ {\sin x} & {\cos x} & {\cos x} \cr {\cos x} & {\sin x} & {\cos x} \cr {\cos x} & {\cos x} & {\sin x} \cr } } \right|\,$$
$$\, = 0$$ in the interval $$ - {\pi \over 4} \le x \le {\pi \over 4}$$ is

The maximum value of $$\left( {\cos {\alpha _1}} \right).\left( {\cos {\alpha _2}} \right).....\left( {\cos {\alpha _n}} \right),$$ under the restrictions
$$0 \le {\alpha _1},{\alpha _2},....,{\alpha _n} \le {\pi \over 2}$$ vand $$\left( {\cot {\alpha _1}} \right).\left( {\cot {\alpha _2}} \right)....\left( {\cot {\alpha _n}} \right) = 1$$ is

Let $${T_n}$$ denote the number of triangles which can be formed using the vertices of a regular polygon of n sides. If $${T_{n + 1}} - {T_n} = 21$$, then n equals
