The solution

cos(2*x) = 1/2
$$\cos{\left(2 x \right)} = \frac{1}{2}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(2 x \right)} = \frac{1}{2}$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$2 x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)}$$
$$2 x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)}$$
Or
$$2 x = \pi n + \frac{\pi}{3}$$
$$2 x = \pi n - \frac{2 \pi}{3}$$
, where n - is a integer
Divide both parts of the equation by
$$2$$
we get the answer:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\pi n}{2} + \frac{\pi}{6}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\pi n}{2} - \frac{\pi}{3}$$
