The solution

You have entered [src]
cos(x) = 3
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = 3$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = 3$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
As right part of the equation
modulo =
True

but cos
can no be more than 1 or less than -1
so the solution of the equation d'not exist.

(2*pi - i*im(acos(3)))*(i*im(acos(3)) + re(acos(3)))
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = 2*pi - I*im(acos(3))
$$x_{1} = 2 \pi - i \operatorname{im}{\left(\operatorname{acos}{\left(3 \right)}\right)}$$
x2 = I*im(acos(3)) + re(acos(3))
$$x_{2} = \operatorname{re}{\left(\operatorname{acos}{\left(3 \right)}\right)} + i \operatorname{im}{\left(\operatorname{acos}{\left(3 \right)}\right)}$$
x2 = re(acos(3)) + i*im(acos(3))
Numerical answer [src]
x1 = 6.28318530717959 - 1.76274717403909*i
x2 = 1.76274717403909*i
x2 = 1.76274717403909*i
