2cos(t)=sqrt(3)     divide both sides by 2

 

cos(t)  = sqt(3)/2     and this occurs at  pi/6 + n(2pi)   and at  (11/6)pi + n(2pi)     where  n is an  integer

 

 

Notice that using n(pi)  after the answers would not be correct.....for instance, if n =1

 

pi/6 + 1*pi =    7pi/6   .....but the cosine does not = sqrt(3)/2   at 7pi/6
