here i want to find x interms of k...any general solution??

No. The general solution, according to maple, is

RootOf(cos(_Z)*(exp(_Z))^2+cos(_Z)-2*exp(_Z)) / k

The numerator is independant of k, so if you know the solutions
for one non-zero k, scale them by k to get the general solution.

The cos(_Z) can be grouped,

RootOf(cos(_Z)*(1 + exp(2*_Z)) - 2*exp(_Z)) / k

Since exp(2*_Z) > 2*exp(_Z), the cos(_Z) term ensures that the
expression will flip sign infinitely often with increasing _Z
so there will be infinite number of roots spaced at most Pi apart.
The - 2*exp(_Z) term will, it seems to me, essentially apply an
increasing phase change as you go.
