    For the function

    y = cos (1/2 x)

    The x-intercept can be calculated by equating the function to zero and solving for x. So,

    y = cos (1/2 x) = 0

    1/2 x = arc cos 0

    1/2 x = 90° + 180°n

    x = 2 (90° + 180°n)

    x = 180° + 360°n

    or converting to radians

    x = (180° + 360° n) (π/180°)

    x = π + 2π n

    where n is any whole number

    if n = 0

    x = π

    Therefore, the x-intercept is π or π+2π n
