Sagot :
There are an infinite number of solutions, so I don't plan to list them all.
I'll list two of them, and then describe how to get all of the rest.
You said that 2cos(x) - 1 = 0
Add 1 to each side: 2cos(x) = 1
Divide each side by 2: cos(x) = 1/2
The angles whose cosine is 1/2 are 60 degrees, 300 degrees,
and any multiple of 360 degrees added to either of those.

2cosx=1
cosx=1/2
x=cos∧-1(1/2)
x=60degrees or 360-60=300degrees
depending on your limits if in radians pi/3 and 5pi/3
