The solution

You have entered [src]
2*cos(2*x) + 1 = 0
$$2 \cos{\left(2 x \right)} + 1 = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$2 \cos{\left(2 x \right)} + 1 = 0$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
Move 1 to right part of the equation

with the change of sign in 1

We get:
$$2 \cos{\left(2 x \right)} = -1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 2

The equation is transformed to
$$\cos{\left(2 x \right)} = - \frac{1}{2}$$
This equation is transformed to
$$2 x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{1}{2} \right)}$$
$$2 x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{1}{2} \right)}$$
Or
$$2 x = \pi n + \frac{2 \pi}{3}$$
$$2 x = \pi n - \frac{\pi}{3}$$
, where n - is a integer
Divide both parts of the equation by
$$2$$
we get the answer:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\pi n}{2} + \frac{\pi}{3}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\pi n}{2} - \frac{\pi}{6}$$
