Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the trigonometric equation:


√(3)\cos (3x)-2=0,(0,2\pi)

Add 2 to both sides:


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{3}\cos (3x)-2+2=0+2 \\ \sqrt[]{3}\cos (3x)=2 \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by √3.


\begin{gathered} \frac{\sqrt[]{3}\cos (3x)}{\sqrt[]{3}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt[]{3}} \\ \implies\cos (3x)=\frac{2\sqrt[]{3}}{3} \end{gathered}

Take the arccos of both sides:


\begin{gathered} 3x=\arccos (\frac{2\sqrt[]{3}}{3}) \\ x=(1)/(3)\arccos (\frac{2\sqrt[]{3}}{3}) \\ x\text{ has no solution for }x\in R \end{gathered}
