Explanation:
Group the terms of the equation in order to factor it:
f(t) = (2sin t.cos t - 2cos t) + (sin t - 1 )= 0
f(t) = 2cos t(sin t - 1) + (sin t - 1) = 0
f(t) = (sin t - 1)(2cos t + 1) = 0
Solve the 2 binomials by using Trig Table and unit circle -->
a. sin t - 1 = 0 --> sin t = 1 -->
b. 2cos t + 1 = 0 -->
Note that the arc
