Solve the equation. And write all solutions in general form.

x = pi/2 + 2 pi n                            x = pi + 2 pi n   where n is an integer

x = 5pi /3 + 2 pi n                      

Step-by-step explanation:

8 cos^2 x + 4 cos x-4 = 0

Divide by 4

2 cos^2 x +  cos x-1 = 0

Let u = cos x

2 u^2 +u -1 =0

Factor

(2u -1) ( u+1) = 0

Using the zero product property

2u-1 =0    u+1 =0

u = 1/2      u = -1

Substitute cosx for u

cos x = 1/2    cos x = -1

Take the inverse cos on each side

cos ^-1(cos x) = cos ^-1(1/2)   cos ^-1( cos x) =cos ^-1( -1)

x = pi/2 + 2 pi n                            x = pi + 2 pi n   where n is an integer

x = 5pi /3 + 2 pi n                      

can you give me more detail on this! ?
