2 cos^3  x+sin x−3 sin^2  x cos x=0  2 cos^3  x+sin x−3(1−cos^2  x) cos x=0  5 cos^3  x+sin x−3 cos x=0  cos x (5 cos^2  x−3)+sin x=0  3−(5/(tan^2  x+1))=tan x  3−(5/(t^2 +1))=t  t^3 −3t^2 +t+2=0  (t−2)(t^2 −t−1)=0  ⇒t=tan x=2 ⇒x=nπ+tan^(−1) 2  ⇒t=tan x=((1±(√5))/2) ⇒x=nπ+tan^(−1) ((1±(√5))/2)

let t=tan (x/2)  −((2(t^2 +t−1)(t^4 −2t^3 −6t^3 +2g+1))/((t^2 +1)^3 ))=0  (t^2 +t−1)(t^2 −(1+(√5))t−1)(t^2 −(1−(√5))t−1)=0  solve this for t and then x=2πn+2arctan t

$$\mathrm{let}\:{t}=\mathrm{tan}\:\frac{{x}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$ $$−\frac{\mathrm{2}\left({t}^{\mathrm{2}} +{t}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({t}^{\mathrm{4}} −\mathrm{2}{t}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{6}{t}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{2}{g}+\mathrm{1}\right)}{\left({t}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{3}} }=\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $$\left({t}^{\mathrm{2}} +{t}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({t}^{\mathrm{2}} −\left(\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\right){t}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({t}^{\mathrm{2}} −\left(\mathrm{1}−\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\right){t}−\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{solve}\:\mathrm{this}\:\mathrm{for}\:{t}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{then}\:{x}=\mathrm{2}\pi{n}+\mathrm{2arctan}\:{t} \\ $$
