\[y = \cos x:\]
\[4y^{2} - 2(a - 3)y - 3a = 0\]
\[D = 4(a - 3)^{2} + 4 \bullet 4 \bullet 3a =\]
\[= 4a^{2} - 24a + 9 + 48a =\]
\[= 4a^{2} + 24a + 9 = 4(a + 3)^{2}\]
\[y = \frac{2(a - 3) \pm 2(a + 3)}{2 \bullet 4} =\]
\[= \frac{a - 3 \pm (a + 3)}{4};\]
\[y_{1} = \frac{a - 3 - a - 3}{4} = - \frac{6}{4} = - \frac{3}{2};\]
\[y_{2} = \frac{a - 3 + a + 3}{4} = \frac{2a}{4} = \frac{a}{2}.\]
\[1)\ \cos x = - \frac{3}{2}\]
\[нет\ корней.\]
\[2)\ \cos x = \frac{a}{2}\]
\[\left| \frac{a}{2} \right| \leq 1\]
\[|a| \leq 2\]
\[x = \pm \arccos\frac{a}{2} + 2\pi n.\]
\[Ответ:\ \ |a| \leq 2;\ \ \]
\[x = \pm \arccos\frac{a}{2} + 2\pi n.\]
