It is very easy to see that this equation will hold only for x=pi,x=3pi,x=5pi.
cospi=cos3pi=cos5pi=-1 and sin term will be zero.
(3-1)2=4
You can put these values and check.
So number of solution is 3.

Let cosx=c and sinx be s
LHS is (3+c)^2, whose minimum value is 4
RHS is 4-2s^8 whose maximum value is 4.
So for them to be equal, both must equal 4.
So s=0 and c=-1
As c=-1 automatically implies s=0, hence we only need to focus on the solutions of cosx=-1=cosπ
x= odd mutiple of pi
So x can be pi, 3pi, 5pi.
So there are exactly three solutions.
