2cosθ+sin(2θ)=0

 

Let's use the double-angle formula for sin which says  sin(2θ)=2sinθcosθ

 

2cosθ+2sinθcosθ=0

 

Now we can factor  2 cos θ  out of both terms on the left side of the equation.

 

2cosθ(1+sinθ)=0      (Notice if we distribute  2 cos θ  we get the previous expression)

 

Set each factor equal to  0  and solve for  θ:

 

2cosθ=0or1+sinθ=0 cosθ=0orsinθ=1 θ=π2,3π2,5π2,7π2,orθ=3π2,7π2,11π2,15π2, θ=90,270,450,630,orθ=270,630,990,1350

 

The solutions in the interval  [0°, 360°)  are:   90°, 270°
