We have ∣sinx∣≤1, ∣cos2x∣≤1, ∣cos4x∣≤1. The product sinx⋅cos2x⋅cos4x can only be 1 if each factor is 1 or −1, and their product is 1.
But ∣sinx∣=1 only when sinx=1 or sinx=−1.
Case 1: sinx=1
Then x=2π+2kπ, k∈Z.
At x=2π:
cos2x=cos(π)=−1
cos4x=cos(2π)=1
So sinx⋅cos2x⋅cos4x=1⋅(−1)⋅1=−1=1
Case 2: sinx=−1
Then x=23π+2kπ, k∈Z.
At x=23π:
cos2x=cos(3π)=−1
cos4x=cos(6π)=1
So sinx⋅cos2x⋅cos4x=(−1)⋅(−1)⋅1=1
Therefore, all solutions are x=23π+2kπ, k∈Z.
Answer: x=23π+2kπ, k∈Z.
