To solve the equation
2\cos(\theta) - √(2) = 0\\ and express the answer in radians in terms of π, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Add
√(2)\\ to both sides of the equation:


2\cos(\theta) = √(2)\\

Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 2:


\cos(\theta) = (√(2))/(2)\\

Step 3: Recall the special values of cosine in the first quadrant:


\cos(\theta) = (√(2))/(2)\\¥ corresponds to
\\ \theta = (\pi)/(4)\\ in radians.

Therefore, the solution to the equation in radians in terms of π is
\theta = (\pi)/(4)\\.
