For some positive integer \(n,\) 

\(\csc (2^3)^\circ + \csc (2^4)^\circ + \csc (2^5)^\circ + \dots + \csc (2^{2019})^\circ = \sec n^\circ.\)

Find the smallest possible \(n.\)

Solved by computer:

 

for (n = 3..2019) {

   x = x + cscdeg(2^n);

}

 

output(x);

 

output = 1.002441898

 

This is equal to \(\sec 4^\circ\), so n = 4.

I'm glad you could give me this answer. Thanks!

Could someone show me a detailed way to solve this problem so I can use it elsewhere?
