solve:
cos(60-x).cosx.cos(60+x)=1/4

2cos(60-x)cos(60+x) 2cosx=1
[cos(120) + cos(-2x)] 2cosx = 1
[-1/2 + cos 2x] 2cosx = 1
-cosx + 2cosxcos2x = 1
2cosxcos2x - cosx =1
cos 3x + cos x - cos x = 1
cos 3x = 1
Thus 3x = 0
x = 0

x = 2 pi n

I Dont Think I Have Made Any Mistake But If i Have...Do Let Me Know...Rate Me If My Solution Is Adequate
* I Have used cos(-x) = cos x a lot*

cos(60-x) cosx cos(60+x) = 1/4
[cos260 cos2x - sin260sin2x]cosx =1/4
 
[(cos2x)/4] cos2x - 3sin2x/4]cosx =1/4
cos4x - 3sin2xcosx =1
cos4x - 3cosx  - 3cos3x -1=0
 
solving the equation u'll get the value of x
and then u can generalise it 2npi +-x
 
cheeeeeeeeers
 
cammon rate me.......

its a cubic equation in cosx
take sum of the roots
sum of the product of roots taken 2 at a time
product of the roots
 
u'll get three values for cosx
and if ur answer of 2npi/3 is correct then the other 2 options will most probably get eliminated
i'm in a bit o' hurry
i'll complete the solution tom
cheeeeeeeeers
