What values for theta (0<=theta<=2pi) satify the equation?
2 sin theta cos theta + cos theta = 0
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_
