If 3 cos 2 x = 3 - 1 cos x + 1 , then number of solutions of the given equation when x ∈ 0 , π 2…

If 3cos2x=3-1cosx+1, then number of solutions of the given equation when x0,π2 is ________.

Solution

3cosx2-3cosx+cosx-1=0

3cosx+1cosx-1=0

cosx=1 or cosx=-13 (reject)

x=0 only

Hence, only one solution.
