Define $$a_k=\cos\frac{2k\pi}{n}-2+i\sin\frac{2k\pi}{n}$$ How can I approach this product? $$a_1 a_2 \cdots a_n$$ I tried to investigate if one of terms is $0$, as it is a product, but no.
Any ideas?
I have already calculated this sum using the Euler formula. $$a_1+a_2+\cdots +a_n,\;n>1$$
So, $a_k;1\le k \le n$
are the roots of $$(x+2)^n=1\iff x^n+\cdots+2^n-1=0$$
Using Vieta's formula $$\prod_{k=1}^n a_k=(-1)^n\cdot\dfrac{2^n-1}1$$
