Exercise 22 is asking us to solve a series of problems. First, we need to show that $\sin(5x) = 16\sin^5(x) - 20\sin^3(x) + 5\sin(x)$. Then, we need to solve the equation $\sin(5x) = 0$ for $x \in \mathbb{R}$ and verify that $\frac{\pi}{5}$ and $\frac{2\pi}{5}$ are solutions. Next, we must solve the equation $16X^5 - 20X^3 + 5X = 0$ for $X \in \mathbb{R}$. Finally, we have to deduce the values of $\sin(\frac{\pi}{5})$ and $\sin(\frac{2\pi}{5})$ from the previous questions.
