limit equation (migue solution)
Show that the equation cosx=2x has a migue solution x∈r.

if you know anything this question I want to hear your idea.
I can't understood migue solution.Have you any idea about this solution I'm waiting.
Thank you.

I think he means a unique solution.

The derivative of $f(x)=2x-\cos{x}$ is $2+\sin{x}$, which is always positive, so the function is increasing. Also, $f(x)<0$ for large negative values of x and $f(x)>0$ for large positive values of x. So there is exactly one $x\in\mathbb{R}$ where it is zero, and that is a unique solution to $2x=\cos{x}$.
