Homework Statement


Sin(x)+sin(2x)+sin(x)*Cos(2x)+sin(2x)*cos(x)=0
Solve for all angles x.

Homework Equations


Sin(2x)= 2sin(x)*cos(x)

The Attempt at a Solution


Not really sure what to do. I noticed that i could maybe factor out Sin(x), but i do not really know if that is right.

I seem to be always stuck on these kind of problems. Any general tips would greatly help me as well. Thank you

So you just used double angles to get rid of sin(2x) and cos(2x)?
 
Yes I used double angles for them and I had to use the cos^2 identity also. I wish I could just scan my paper and upload it but no scanner.
 
Cool, i think i got it now. Thanks for your time.
