sin2x+sinx=0

=2sin((3x)/2)cos(x/2)=0

When

sin((3x)/2)=0

=>(3x)/2=npi"where " n in ZZ

=>x=(2npi)/3"where " n in ZZ

When

cos((x/2)=0

=>x/2=(2n+1)pi/2"where " n in ZZ

=>x=(2n+1)pi"where " n in ZZ

Alternative

sin2x+sinx=0

sin2x=-sinx=sin(-x)

=>2x=npi-(-1)^nx" where "n in ZZ

=>x=(npi)/(2+(-1)^n)" where "n in ZZ
