cos − 1 ( 3 x 2 ) + cos − 1 ( 4 x 3 ) ( 3 x 2 ) ( 4 x 3 ) − ( 1 − ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ) ( 1 − ( 4 x 3 ) 2 ) ( 1 − 9 x 2 4 ) ( 1 − 1 6 x 2 9 ) 1 2 x 2 1 ( 9 x 2 − 4 ) ( 1 6 x 2 − 9 ) 1 4 4 x 4 − 1 4 5 x 2 + 3 6 1 4 4 x 4 − 1 4 5 x 2 + 3 6 x 2 ( 1 4 4 x 2 − 1 4 5 ) ⟹ x = 2 π = 0 = 2 x 2 1 = 2 x 2 1 = 6 = 3 6 = 0 = 1 2 1 4 4 + 1 For x = 0 Squaring both sides For x > 4 3
Therefore, A = 1 2 .

Let cos a = 3 x 2 and cos b = 4 x 3
Then, a + b = 2 π
cos b = cos ( 2 π − a )
cos b = sin a
sin a = 4 x 3
cos a = 4 x 1 6 x 2 − 9
Also from the equation , cos a = 3 x 2
3 x 2 = 4 x 1 6 x 2 − 9
Solving for x gives two possible values but since we are looking for a number > 4 3 , x = 1 2 1 4 5
x = 1 2 1 2 2 + 1
