General solutions for

cos (\frac{π}{x}) = \frac{3}{3}

cos (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arccos (a) + 2 πn, x = 2 π - arccos (a) + 2 πn

\frac{π}{x} = arccos (\frac{3}{3}) + 2 πn, \frac{π}{x} = 2 π - arccos (\frac{3}{3}) + 2 πn

\frac{π}{x} = arccos (\frac{3}{3}) + 2 πn, \frac{π}{x} = 2 π - arccos (\frac{3}{3}) + 2 πn

Solve

\frac{π}{x} = arccos (\frac{3}{3}) + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{arccos ( \frac{1}{3} ) + 2 πn}; n \neq = - \frac{arccos ( \frac{1}{3} )}{2 π}

x

\frac{π}{x} = arccos (\frac{3}{3}) + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

x

\frac{π}{x} x = arccos (\frac{3}{3}) x + 2 πn x

Simplify

π = arccos (\frac{3}{3}) x + 2 πn x

π = arccos (\frac{3}{3}) x + 2 πn x

Switch sides

arccos (\frac{3}{3}) x + 2 πn x = π

Simplify

arccos (\frac{3}{3}) x + 2 πn x : arccos (\frac{1}{3}) x + 2 πn x

arccos (\frac{3}{3}) x + 2 πn x

Apply radical rule:

3 = 3^{\frac{1}{2}}

= \frac{3 ^{\frac{1}{2}}}{3}

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{x ^{a}}{x ^{b}} = \frac{1}{x ^{b - a}}

\frac{3 ^{\frac{1}{2}}}{3 ^{1}} = \frac{1}{3 ^{1 - \frac{1}{2}}}

= \frac{1}{3 ^{1 - \frac{1}{2}}}

Subtract the numbers:

1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{3 ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Apply radical rule:
