Find all solutions to the equation. sin2x + sin x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the double angle identity sin2x=2sinxcosx. sin2x+sinx=0 2sinxcosx+sinx=0 sinx(2cosx+1)=0 sinx=0 implies that x is a multiple of 2npi where n is an integer. cosx=-1/2 implies that x is multiples of 7pi/6 and 11pi/6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for sinx, x can also be multiples of pi.
