  • Answer

The vertices of a regular hexagon are labeled cos⁡(θ),cos⁡(2θ),…,cos⁡(6θ)\cos (\theta), \cos (2 \theta), \ldots, \cos (6 \theta). For every pair of vertices, Bob draws a blue line through the vertices if one of these functions can be expressed as a polynomial function of the other (that holds for all real θ\theta ), and otherwise Roberta draws a red line through the vertices. In the resulting graph, how many triangles whose vertices lie on the hexagon have at least one red and at least one blue edge?
