How do I get all solutions of the equation cos(x)==cos(3x) using solve() from Symbolic Math Toolbox ?

I’ve tried the following code:
syms x
h(x)=cos(x)==cos(3*x);
[sol,par,cond]=solve(h,x,'returnconditions',true)
sol =
pi*k
par =
k
cond =
in(k, 'integer')
But I expected to obtain: k*pi/2.
Where am I wrong ? Thanks in advance.

Hi Angelo,
You didn't go wrong, it's missing half of the roots. But this works
h(x)=sin(x+pi/2)==sin(3*x+pi/2);
go figure.
