show the answer below

Explanation:

show below

sinx+sin2x=0sinx+sin2x=0

sinx+[2*sinx*cosx]=0sinx+[2sinxcosx]=0

sinx[1+2cosx]=0sinx[1+2cosx]=0

sinx=0sinx=0

x=0,x=2pi or x=pix=0,x=2πorx=π

1+2cosx=01+2cosx=0

2cosx=-12cosx=1

cosx=-1/2cosx=12

x=(2pi)/3 or x=(4pi)/3x=2π3orx=4π3

note that

sin2x=2*sinx*cosxsin2x=2sinxcosx
