Remember the basic trig identity

<u />\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1

We can move the cosine term to the right side to get

\sin^2 x = 1 - \cos^2 x

We can then replace \sin^2 x in the original equation and basically factor the resulting equation like a quadratic:

2(1 - \cos^2 x) - 5 \cos x + 1 = 0
(2 - 2 \cos^2 x) - 5 \cos x + 1 = 0
{-2} \cos^2 x - 5 \cos x  + 3 = 0
2 \cos^2 x + 5 \cos x - 3 = 0
(2 \cos x - 1)(\cos x + 3) = 0&#10;&#10;

Then, we can see that \cos x either equals \frac{1}{2} or -3. But since the range of cosine is only from [-1, 1], cosine can't equal -3 at all! So, you just have to solve for x when \cos x =  \frac{1}{2}, which is when

x = \{ \frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{5\pi}{3} \} + 2 \pi k | k \in \mathbb{Z}
(The last part of the solution says that k can be any integer.)

If you only want solutions in the range [0, 2\pi), then your answer is just

x = \frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{5\pi}{3}

Based on the information given, it should be noted that the residual for the two points will be 0.087 and -0.033 respectively.

<h3>How to find the residual.</h3>

From the complete information, the predicted value for the point (3, 0.42) will be:

= (0.091 × 3) + 0.060

= 0.0273 + 0.060

= 0.333

Therefore, the residual will be:

= 0.42 - 0.333 = 0.087

The predicted value for the point (3, 0.3) will be:

y = 0.091x + 0.060.

= (0.091 × 3) + 0.060.

= 0.333

Therefore, the residual will be:

= 0.3 - 0.333 = -0.033

Therefore, the residual for the two points will be 0.087 and -0.333 respectively.
