$$\cos{\left(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{\pi}{8} \right)} = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{\pi}{8} \right)} = 0$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
with the change of sign in 0

We get:
$$\cos{\left(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{\pi}{8} \right)} = 0$$
This equation is transformed to
$$\frac{x}{2} + \frac{3 \pi}{8} = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{asin}{\left(0 \right)}$$
$$\frac{x}{2} + \frac{3 \pi}{8} = 2 \pi n - \operatorname{asin}{\left(0 \right)} + \pi$$
Or
$$\frac{x}{2} + \frac{3 \pi}{8} = 2 \pi n$$
$$\frac{x}{2} + \frac{3 \pi}{8} = 2 \pi n + \pi$$
, where n - is a integer
Move
$$\frac{3 \pi}{8}$$
to right part of the equation
with the opposite sign, in total:
$$\frac{x}{2} = 2 \pi n - \frac{3 \pi}{8}$$
$$\frac{x}{2} = 2 \pi n + \frac{5 \pi}{8}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by
$$\frac{1}{2}$$
we get the answer:
$$x_{1} = 4 \pi n - \frac{3 \pi}{4}$$
$$x_{2} = 4 \pi n + \frac{5 \pi}{4}$$
