The solution

You have entered [src]
cos(x) = -2/3
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = - \frac{2}{3}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = - \frac{2}{3}$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}$$
$$x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}$$
Or
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}$$
$$x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}$$
, where n - is a integer
The graph
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = -acos(-2/3) + 2*pi
$$x_{1} = - \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)} + 2 \pi$$
x2 = acos(-2/3)
$$x_{2} = \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}$$
x2 = acos(-2/3)
Sum and product of roots [src]
sum
-acos(-2/3) + 2*pi + acos(-2/3)
$$\operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)} + \left(- \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)} + 2 \pi\right)$$
=
2*pi
$$2 \pi$$
product
(-acos(-2/3) + 2*pi)*acos(-2/3)
$$\left(- \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)} + 2 \pi\right) \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}$$
=
(-acos(-2/3) + 2*pi)*acos(-2/3)
$$\left(- \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)} + 2 \pi\right) \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}$$
(-acos(-2/3) + 2*pi)*acos(-2/3)
