Math Problem Statement

Solve the equation involving square roots, logarithms, and trigonometric functions: \[\frac{\sqrt{x + 8} \cdot \ln{(x^2 - 1)} - \left(\frac{3x^2 - \frac{2x - 8}{x}}{x}\right)}{\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2x - 3}{x + 1}\right) + \sin{\left(\frac{2\pi}{3x + 2}\right)}} = \frac{\pi}{3}\]

Solution

The equation in the image is:

x+8ln(x21)(3x22x8xx)cos1(2x3x+1)+sin(2π3x+2)=π3\frac{\sqrt{x + 8} \cdot \ln{(x^2 - 1)} - \left(\frac{3x^2 - \frac{2x - 8}{x}}{x}\right)}{\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2x - 3}{x + 1}\right) + \sin{\left(\frac{2\pi}{3x + 2}\right)}} = \frac{\pi}{3}
