Answer

$\frac{\pi}{4}$, $\frac{3\pi}{4}$, $\frac{5\pi}{4}$, $\frac{7\pi}{4}$

Work Step by Step

$\cos 2x\csc^2 x=2\cos 2x$ $\csc^2x=2$ $\sin^2x=\frac{1}{2}$ $\sin x=\pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ If $\sin x=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$, then the only solutions in $[0, 2\pi)$ are $\frac{\pi}{4}$ and $\frac{3\pi}{4}$. If $\sin x=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$, then the only solutions in $[0, 2\pi)$ are $\frac{5\pi}{4}$ and $\frac{7\pi}{4}$.
