\[\arccos 2x = \arccos x + \frac{\pi}{3}.\]Then
\[\cos (\arccos 2x) = \cos \left( \arccos x + \frac{\pi}{3} \right).\]Hence, from the angle addition formula,

human | Let $x$ be an angle such that $\tan x = \frac{a}{b}$ and $\tan 2x = \frac{b}{a + b}.$ Then the least positive value of $x$ equals $\tan^{-1} k.$ Compute $k.$ |
gpt | We have that
\[\tan 2x = \frac{b}{a + b} = \frac{1}{\frac{a}{b} + 1} = \frac{1}{\tan x + 1},\]so $(\tan x + 1) \tan 2x = 1.$ Then from the double angle formula,
\[(\tan x + 1) \cdot \frac{2 \tan x}{1 - \tan^2 x} = 1,\]so $2 \tan x (\tan x + 1) = 1 - \tan^2 x,$ or

gpt | We have that
\[x^2 = (e^t + e^{-t})^2 = e^{2t} + 2 + e^{-2t},\]and
\begin{align*}
\frac{y^2}{9} &= (e^t - e^{-t})^2 \\

\end{align*}Then
\[x^2 - \frac{y^2}{9} = 4,\]so
\[\frac{x^2}{4} - \frac{y^2}{36} = 1.\]Thus, all plotted points lie on a hyperbola. The answer is $\boxed{\text{(E)}}.$ |
