To solve the equation \( \cos 2x + \cos x - 2 = 0 \), we can use the double angle identity \( \cos 2x = 2 \cos^2 x - 1 \). Substituting this into the equation gives us \( 2 \cos^2 x - 1 + \cos x - 2 = 0 \), which simplifies to \( 2 \cos^2 x + \cos x - 3 = 0 \). This is a quadratic equation in terms of \( \cos x \). We can apply the quadratic formula \( \cos x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \) where \( a = 2, b = 1, c = -3 \). Solving this, we find the values of \( \cos x \), and subsequently solve for \( x \). After solving, keep in mind that the cosine function is periodic with a period of \( 2\pi \). Thus, the general solutions will be of the form \( x = \pm \arccos(\text{found values}) + 2k\pi \), where \( k \) is any integer. This expression allows you to find an infinite number of solutions based on the periodic nature of the cosine function!
