There are 6 solutions over the interval
Explanation:
I'll exclude the variable x for simplicity:
Now simplify:
Now, we have 3 factors, when set equal to 0, will give us two unique solutions each for a total of 6 solutions over the interval
Again, the general solution is simply adding/subtracting multiples of
