How do you solve: sin2x - sinx = 0sin2x−sinx=0? Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Proving Identities 2 Answers Kalyanam S. May 28, 2018 color(maroon)(x = 0 , color(crimson)(x = pi/3x=0,x=π3 or color(crimson )(60^@60∘ Explanation: sin 2x - sin x = 0sin2x−sinx=0 => 2 sin x cos x - sin x = 0⇒2sinxcosx−sinx=0 => sin x * (2 cos x - 1) = 0⇒sinx⋅(2cosx−1)=0 => sin x = 0, cos x = 1/2⇒sinx=0,cosx=12 color(maroon)(x = 0 , color(crimson)(x = pi/3x=0,x=π3 or color(crimson )(60^@60∘ Answer link Dean R. May 28, 2018 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 Answer link Related questions What does it mean to prove a trigonometric identity?
