Need help. Solve equation 'sin(2Θ)=cosΘ' algebraically.
Find all exact degree solutions in the interval [0 degrees to 360 degrees]
Thanks in advance.

Note that sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x). Then...
2sin(x)cos(x) - cos(x) = 0
cos(x)(2sin(x) - 1) = 0
Hence, by zero-product property, we have...
cos(x) = 0 and 2sin(x) - 1 = 0
x = ±π/2 + 2πk
. . . π/6 + 2πk
. . . 5π/6 + 2πk where k is the integer
You determine the answers by yourself
I hope this helps!
sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x) so
sin(2x)=cos(x) can be rewritten
2sin(x)cos(x)=cos(x)
2sin(x)cos(x)-cos(x)=0 factor cos(x)[2sin(x)-1]=0
cos(x)=0 gives pi/2 (90) and 3pi/2 (270) and 2sin(x)-1=0 so sin(x)=1/2 giving pi/6 (30) and 5pi/6 (150)
