First, we'll substitute sin 2x by the equivalent expression 2sin x*cosx
2 sin x*cos x= 2sin x
We'll move all terms to one side:
2 sin x*cos x - 2 sin x=0
2 sin x (cos x -1)=0
We'll put each factor from the product above as being 0.
2 sin x =0
We'll divide by 2:
sin x=0
This is an elementary equation:
x = arcsin 0
x=0 or x=pi
cos x - 1=0
This is an elementary equation, also:
cos x=1
x=+/-arccos 1
x=0, x=pi
The solutions of the equation are {0,pi}.
