Solve the following equation: `costheta+cos3theta-cos2theta=0`

Explanation

Let us start with Combining `costheta and cos3theta.`

`(costheta+cos3theta)+cos2theta=0`

=`2cos2thetacostheta+cos2theta=0`

or `cos2theta(2costheta+1)=0`

∴`cos2theta=0=cos(π/2),`

∴`2theta=(n+1/2​)π,`

or `theta=(2n+1)π/4`

`2costheta+1=0`
