Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 3 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

72 (- 3 cos^{2} (x) sin^{2} (x) + cos^{4} (x)) = 0

Factor

72 (- 3 cos^{2} (x) sin^{2} (x) + cos^{4} (x)) : 72 cos^{2} (x) (cos (x) + 3 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 3 sin (x))

72 (- 3 cos^{2} (x) sin^{2} (x) + cos^{4} (x))

Factor

- 3 cos^{2} (x) sin^{2} (x) + cos^{4} (x) : cos^{2} (x) (cos (x) + 3 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 3 sin (x))

- 3 cos^{2} (x) sin^{2} (x) + cos^{4} (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} a^{c}

cos^{4} (x) = cos^{2} (x) cos^{2} (x)

= - 3 sin^{2} (x) cos^{2} (x) + cos^{2} (x) cos^{2} (x)

Factor out common term

cos^{2} (x)

= cos^{2} (x) (- 3 sin^{2} (x) + cos^{2} (x))

Factor

cos^{2} (x) - 3 sin^{2} (x) : (cos (x) + 3 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 3 sin (x))

cos^{2} (x) - 3 sin^{2} (x)

Rewrite

cos^{2} (x) - 3 sin^{2} (x)

cos^{2} (x) - (3 sin (x))^{2}

cos^{2} (x) - 3 sin^{2} (x)

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

3 = (3)^{2}

= cos^{2} (x) - (3)^{2} sin^{2} (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

(3)^{2} sin^{2} (x) = (3 sin (x))^{2}

= cos^{2} (x) - (3 sin (x))^{2}

= cos^{2} (x) - (3 sin (x))^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

cos^{2} (x) - (3 sin (x))^{2} = (cos (x) + 3 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 3 sin (x))

= (cos (x) + 3 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 3 sin (x))

= cos^{2} (x) (cos (x) + 3 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 3 sin (x))

= 72 cos^{2} (x) (cos (x) + 3 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 3 sin (x))

72 cos^{2} (x) (cos (x) + 3 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 3 sin (x)) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos^{2} (x) = 0 or cos (x) + 3 sin (x) = 0 or cos (x) - 3 sin (x) = 0

cos^{2} (x) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

cos^{2} (x) = 0

Apply rule

x^{n} = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0

cos (x) = 0
