Find all solutions of the equation 

### Solving Trigonometric Equations: Cosine and Sine Functions

#### Problem Statement
Find all solutions of the equation in the interval \([0, 2\pi)\):

\[ \cos 4x \cos 2x + \sin 4x \sin 2x = 0 \]

#### Instructions
Write your answer in radians in terms of \(\pi\).

If there is more than one solution, separate them with commas.

\[ x = \]

#### Explanation of Equations
The equation given combines the cosine and sine functions in a trigonometric identity. To solve this, we can use the sum-to-product identities which simplify trigonometric expressions. Specifically, for the given equation, we can apply the identity:
\[ \cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B = \cos(A - B) \]

Given:
\[ \cos 4x \cos 2x + \sin 4x \sin 2x = 0 \]

This matches the form of the identity with \(A = 4x\) and \(B = 2x\):

\[ \cos(4x - 2x) = \cos 2x \]

Thus, the equation simplifies to:
\[ \cos 2x = 0 \]

Now, let's find the values of \(x\) in the interval \([0, 2\pi)\) where \(\cos 2x = 0\).

1. \(\cos 2x = 0\) implies \(2x = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi\).

2. Solving for \(x\), we get:
\[ x = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{k\pi}{2} \]

where \(k\) is an integer.

#### Finding Solutions
The principal values of \(x\) need to be found within the interval \([0, 2\pi)\):

1. For \(k = 0\):
\[ x = \frac{\pi}{4} \]

2. For \(k = 1\):
\[ x = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{3\pi}{4} \]

3. For \(k = 2\):
\[ x = \frac{\pi}{4} + \pi = \frac{5\pi}{4
