-2cos2x=1       divide both sides by  -2

 

cos2x  = -1/2

 

Note......the cos (x)   = -1/2    at   x =   120° + n360°  and at  240° + n360°  where n is an integer

 

So......

 

2x  = 120° +n 360°  and at  240° + n360°    divide both sides by 2

 

x  =    60° + n180°  and at  120° + n180°  where n is an integer  .....and this is the general solution

 

 

 

cool cool cool
