2sinθcosθ+cosθ = 0

                                                     Factor   cos θ   out of both terms.

(cosθ)(2sinθ+1) = 0

                                                     Set each factor equal to  0  and solve for  θ .

                                                     And remember that we only want solutions for  θ  in the interval  [0, 2π]

 

cosθ = 0or2sinθ+1 = 0 θ = π22sinθ = 1 θ = 3π2sinθ = 12 θ = 7π6 θ = 11π6

 

So the values for  θ  in the interval  [0, 2π]  that satisfy the equation are:

 

π2, 3π2, 7π6, 11π6_
