Detailed Solution

2(2cos3xcosx)cos2x=1

 2(cos4x+cos2x)cos2x=1 2cos4xcos2x=12cos22x=cos4x cos4x(2cos2x+1)=0 cos4x=0 or cos2x=1/2  Now cos4x=04x=(2n+1)π/2,nI x=(2n+1)π/8,nI.  and 0(2n+1)π/42π02n+18 n=0,1,2,3.

Also, cos(2x)=1/2=cos(2π/3)

 2x=2nπ 2π/3,nI x=nπ π/3,nI.

As 0x2π,x=π/3,2π/3,4π/3,5π/3

Thus, there are 8 values of x.
