Solve Cos3X
1. The problem is to solve the equation $$\frac{\cos 3x}{2} = 0$$ for $x$.
2. First, multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the denominator:
$$\cos 3x = 0$$
3. Recall that $\cos \theta = 0$ at angles $\theta = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi$, where $k$ is any integer.
4. Set $3x = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi$:
$$3x = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi$$
5. Solve for $x$ by dividing both sides by 3:
$$x = \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{k\pi}{3}$$
6. Therefore, the general solution is:
$$x = \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{k\pi}{3}, \quad k \in \mathbb{Z}$$
This means $x$ takes values starting at $\frac{\pi}{6}$ and increases by $\frac{\pi}{3}$ for each integer $k$.
Final answer:
$$x = \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{k\pi}{3}, \quad k \in \mathbb{Z}$$
