$$\cos{\left(\frac{x}{2} + \frac{\pi}{4} \right)} = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(\frac{x}{2} + \frac{\pi}{4} \right)} = 0$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
with the change of sign in 0

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