Let \(f\) be the function defined on \(\mathbb{R}\) by:$$ f(x) = \dfrac{2\cos(x) + 1}{2 + \cos(x)} $$
  1. Show that the function \(f\) is \(2\pi\)-periodic.
  2. Show that the function \(f\) is even.
  3. Deduce that \(f\) can be studied on the interval \([0, \pi]\).
  4. Determine the table of variations of \(f\) on \([0, \pi]\).
  5. Show that the equation \(f(x) = 0\) has exactly one solution \(\alpha\) on \([0, \pi]\) and give an approximate value of \(\alpha\) to the nearest thousandth.
