The solution

You have entered [src]
cos(x) = 2/5
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = \frac{2}{5}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = \frac{2}{5}$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)}$$
$$x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)}$$
Or
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)}$$
$$x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)}$$
, where n - is a integer

Sum and product of roots [src]
sum
-acos(2/5) + 2*pi + acos(2/5)
$$\operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)} + \left(- \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)} + 2 \pi\right)$$
=
2*pi
$$2 \pi$$
product
(-acos(2/5) + 2*pi)*acos(2/5)
$$\left(- \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)} + 2 \pi\right) \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)}$$
=
(-acos(2/5) + 2*pi)*acos(2/5)
$$\left(- \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)} + 2 \pi\right) \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)}$$
(-acos(2/5) + 2*pi)*acos(2/5)
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = -acos(2/5) + 2*pi
$$x_{1} = - \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)} + 2 \pi$$
x2 = acos(2/5)
$$x_{2} = \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)}$$
x2 = acos(2/5)
