Answer

$\theta=\{7.5^o+45^ok\;\;,\;\;37.5^o+45^ok\}$

Work Step by Step

$cos(8\theta)=\frac{1}{2}$ $8\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$ We know $cos(\theta)$ is Positive in quardent $I$ and quardent $IV$ The period of the cosine function is $360^o$ $8\theta=60^o\;\;\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;8\theta=360^o-60^o$ $8\theta=60^o+360^ok\;\;\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;8\theta=300^o+360^ok $ $\theta=7.5^o+45^ok\;\;\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\theta=37.5^o+45^ok $ $\theta=\{7.5^o+45^ok\;\;,\;\;37.5^o+45^ok\},\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;when \;\;\;K=\{0,1,2,....\}$
