color(maroon)(x = 0 , color(crimson)(x = pi/3x=0,x=π3 or color(crimson )(60^@60

Explanation:

sin 2x - sin x = 0sin2xsinx=0

=> 2 sin x cos x - sin x = 02sinxcosxsinx=0

=> sin x * (2 cos x - 1) = 0sinx(2cosx1)=0

=> sin x = 0, cos x = 1/2sinx=0,cosx=12

color(maroon)(x = 0 , color(crimson)(x = pi/3x=0,x=π3 or color(crimson )(60^@60

x = 180^circ k or x= \pm 60^circ + 360^circ k quad integer k

Explanation:

sin 2x - sin x = 0

2 sin x cos x - sin x = 0

sin x (2 cos x -1) = 0

sin x = 0 or cos x = 1/2

x = 180^circ k or x= \pm 60^circ + 360^circ k quad integer k
