cos(2*x) = -------

$$\cos{\left(2 x \right)} = - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(2 x \right)} = - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$2 x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)}$$
$$2 x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)}$$
Or
$$2 x = \pi n + \frac{3 \pi}{4}$$
$$2 x = \pi n - \frac{\pi}{4}$$
, where n - is a integer
Divide both parts of the equation by
$$2$$
we get the answer:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\pi n}{2} + \frac{3 \pi}{8}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\pi n}{2} - \frac{\pi}{8}$$
