Find all solutions to the equation. sin2x + sin x = 0
Solution:
Given equation is
sin2x + sin x = 0
We know the trigonometric identity: sin2x = 2sinxcosx
2sinxcosx + sinx =0
Take sinx as common from the terms
sinx(2cosx + 1) =0
If the product is zero, then either of the terms is zero
sinx = 0 or 2cosx + 1 = 0
sinx = 0 or cosx = -1/2
x= sin-1(0) or x= cos-1(-1/2)
x= nπ or x= -nπ/4.
Find all solutions to the equation. sin2x + sin x = 0
Summary:
The solutions for the equation sin2x + sin x = 0 are x = nπ or x = -nπ/4.
