Question:medium

\(a_1,a_2,a_3\) are in arithmetic progression in which common difference is \(2\) and the first term is \(2\). If \[ \cos a_1+\cos a_2+\cos a_3 = \frac{\sin\alpha}{\sin\beta}\cos\gamma, \] then \(\alpha+\beta=\)

Show Hint

For three cosine terms in arithmetic progression, \[ \boxed{\cos(A-d)+\cos A+\cos(A+d) =\cos A\,(1+2\cos d).} \] Then use \[ \boxed{\sin3x=\sin x\,(1+2\cos2x)} \] to simplify further.
