theta = (npi)/5, n=0, +-1, +-2, +-3, ...

Explanation:

sin 4theta-sin 6theta = -2 sin theta sin 5theta=0

So sin theta = 0#, giving

theta =npi, n=0, +-1, +-2, +-3, .. and

sin 5theta=0 giving theta=npi), and so,

theta=(npi )/5, n=0, +-1, +-2, +-3, ..

The second set includes the first, as a subset.
