Phương trình $\cos x = - \frac{1}{2}$ có các nghiệm là:

A. $\left[ \begin{array}{l}x = \frac{\pi }{3} + k2\pi \\x = - \frac{\pi }{3} + k2\pi \end{array} \right.\,\,\left( {k \in \mathbb{Z}} \right)$.

B. $\left[ \begin{array}{l}x = \frac{{5\pi }}{6} + k2\pi \\x = - \frac{{5\pi }}{6} + k2\pi \end{array} \right.\,\,\left( {k \in \mathbb{Z}} \right)$.

C. $\left[ \begin{array}{l}x = \frac{{2\pi }}{3} + k2\pi \\x = \frac{\pi }{3} + k2\pi \end{array} \right.\,\,\left( {k \in \mathbb{Z}} \right)$.

D. $\left[ \begin{array}{l}x = \frac{{2\pi }}{3} + k2\pi \\x = - \frac{{2\pi }}{3} + k2\pi \end{array} \right.\,\,\left( {k \in \mathbb{Z}} \right)$.

Đáp án đúng là: D

Ta có: $\cos x = - \frac{1}{2}$$\Leftrightarrow \cos x = \cos \frac{{2\pi }}{3}$$\Leftrightarrow \left[ \begin{array}{l}x = \frac{{2\pi }}{3} + k2\pi \\x = - \frac{{2\pi }}{3} + k2\pi \end{array} \right.\,\,\left( {k \in \mathbb{Z}} \right)$.
