Find all solutions to the equation.
=2cosθ-√3=0
Write your answer in radians in terms of π
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2%2Acos%28theta%29 - sqrt%283%29 = 0  --->  2%2Acos%28theta%29 = sqrt%283%29  --->  cos%28theta%29 = sqrt%283%29%2F2 --->  


There are TWO families of solutions:


theta = pi%2F6+%2B+2k%2Api,  k = 0, +/-1, +/-2, . . .   AND/OR  


theta = 11pi%2F6+%2B+2k%2Api,  k = 0, +/-1, +/-2, . . .   .
