2 cos x cos 2x - 2 sin x sin 2x = 1
2(cos x cos 2x - sin x sin 2x) = 1 Sum for cos (x + 2x)
2 cos 3x = 1
cos 3x = 0.5
3x = arc cos 0.5
3x = π/3
x = π/9

2 cos (2cos^2-1) - 2 (sin)(2 sin cos) = 1
2 cos (2 cos^2-1) - 4 (sin^2 cos) = 1
4 cos^3- 2cos - 4 ( 1 - cos^2)(cos) = 1
4 cos^3 - 2cos - 4 cos + 4 cos^3 = 1
8 cos^3 - 6 cos - 1 = 0
Let U = cos^3
8 U^3 - 6U - 1 = 0
the approximate solutions are
U = -0.766
U = -0.174
U = 0.94
the inverse cosine of those are the solutions
