Can someone please check my work? Find the sum of the roots of sin2x = sin x in the interval [0, 2pi]. Okay, so sin2x = 2sinx cosx right? Then I have 2sinx cosx = sin x cos x = sin x / 2 sin x cos x = 1/2 x = pi/3, 5pi/3 Therefore the sum is 2pi. My book says it's 5pi, I don't get it!

don't cancel the sinx like that... what you'll need to do is factor...
dont divide by sin x --> 2sinx cosx - sinx = 0 --> sinx (2cosx -1) = 0 sinx = 0 --> x = 0,pi cos x = 1/2 --. x = pi/3, 5pi/3
2sinx cosx = sin x 2sinxcosx - sinx = 0 factor sinx...
oh i didn't see interval...2pi is also a solution
notice if you cancelled the sinx, you'd be missing x=0,pi....

oh, sinx=0 x=pi x=2pi
Thank you both! Much appreciated
