Okay, I don't even know where to start on this question. Hints (not full solution would be helpful :D )

 

Find all possible values of \(cos(\theta)\) if \(cos(2\theta) = 2cos(\theta)\).

$\cos \theta = \frac{3}{4}$

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

cos(2x) = 2cos(x)

2cos^2(x) - 1 = 2cos(x)

Any idea on what to do from here?
