LHS= 2cos 3@cos@
RHS=root2(cos^2 @)+2/root2 . sin@cos@
=root2cos@(cos@+sin@)
=root2cos@(root2cos(@-pi/4)
=2cos@cos(@-pi/4)

cos@(cos3@-cos(@-pi/4))=0
cos@=0 or cos3@=cos(@-pi/4)
not really sure how to do it.

cos3x = cos(x-pi/4)

3x = 2kpi - (x-pi/4) or 3x = 2kpi + (x-pi/4)

i.e x = (pi/4)(2k + 1/4) or x = (pi/2)(2k - 1/4)
