The solution

You have entered [src]
cos(-2*x) = -1
$$\cos{\left(- 2 x \right)} = -1$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(- 2 x \right)} = -1$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$2 x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(-1 \right)}$$
$$2 x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(-1 \right)}$$
Or
$$2 x = \pi n + \pi$$
$$2 x = \pi n$$
, where n - is a integer
Divide both parts of the equation by
$$2$$
we get the answer:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\pi n}{2} + \frac{\pi}{2}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\pi n}{2}$$
