    the reference triangle for Θ is < ± √3 , - 1 , 2 > depending upon which quadrant Θ is in

    w = cos x leads to 2 w² - w - 1 = 0 ====> [ 2 w + 1 ] [ w - 1 ] = 0 ===> cos Θ = 1 or - 1 / 2...if 1 then x = 0 , if - 1 / 2 the x = 2π / 3 or 4π / 3 { 2nd & 3rd quadrants }................and it is pi , not pie
