#x=pi/2+npi# for #n=0,\pm 1,\pm 2, \pm 3,...#

Explanation:

I assume you mean #cos(2x)+1=0#. This is equivalent to #cos(2x)=-1#. The cosine function will equal #-1# whenever its input is #pi# (radians) plus or minus some integer multiple of #2pi# (radians).

In this case, that means #2x=pi+2npi# for #n=0,\pm 1,\pm 2, \pm 3,...#

Dividing everything by 2 gives #x=pi/2+npi# for #n=0,\pm 1,\pm 2, \pm 3,...#
