The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Start with the given equation We are given the equation: \[ 4 \cos^2 x = 3 \] ### Step 2: Isolate \(\cos^2 x\) To isolate \(\cos^2 x\), we divide both sides of the equation by 4: \[ \cos^2 x = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 3: Take the square root Next, we take the square root of both sides. Since \(x\) is an acute angle, we consider the positive root: \[ \cos x = \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 4: Identify the angle We know that: \[ \cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Thus, we can conclude: \[ x = 30^\circ \] ### Step 5: Find \(3x\) Now, we need to find \(3x\): \[ 3x = 3 \times 30^\circ = 90^\circ \] ### Step 6: Calculate \(\cos 3x\) Finally, we calculate \(\cos 3x\): \[ \cos 3x = \cos 90^\circ = 0 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(\cos 3x\) is: \[ \cos 3x = 0 \] ---
