Well that is great :)
64x^6-80x^4+8x^3+24x^2-4x-1=0
64*(cos(2pi/11))^6-80*(cos(2pi/11))^4+8*(cos(2pi/11))^3+24*(cos(2pi/11))^2-4*(cos(2pi/11))-1

Yes it looks like you might be right - it is certainly is very close to zero :)
I am not so sure that Wolfram|Alpha agrees with you though.

Why do you think it is exact?
