Answer

If $2\sin x\cos x+\sqrt{2}\cos x=0$, then $\underline{\cos x\,}=0$ or $\underline{2\sin x+\sqrt{2}}=0$.

Work Step by Step

To evaluate the values, find out the common numbers: $\begin{align} & 2\sin x\cos x+\sqrt{2}\cos x=0 \\ & \cos x\left( 2\sin x+\sqrt{2} \right)=0 \\ & \cos x=0 \\ & 2\sin x+\sqrt{2}=0 \end{align}$ So, the values will be $2\sin x+\sqrt{2}=0$ and $\cos x=0$.
