Answer by greenestamps(13200)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

cos(x) takes on all its values (between -1 and 1) on the interval from 0 to pi. It similarly takes on all its values on any interval from (n)pi to (n+1)pi.

The given interval consists exactly of three of those intervals, so the equation is satisfied 3 times on the given interval.
