8cos^4 x−8cos^2 x+1=0  solution:8cos^2 x(cos^2 x−1)+1=0⇒  −8cos^2 xsin^2 x=−1⇒  sin^2 2x=(1/2)⇒sinx=+_− ((√2)/2)⇒   { ((2x=2kπ+(π/4))),((2x=2kπ+((3π)/4))) :}   { ((2x=2kπ−(π/4))),((2x=2kπ+((5π)/4))) :}  and so we have   { ((x=kπ+(π/8))),((x=kπ+((3π)/8))) :}   { ((x=kπ−(π/8))),((x=kπ+((5π)/8))) :}  why x=((kπ)/4)+(π/8)?    can we solve by another way?
