Answer
The solutions for \( \sin(2x) = \sin(x) \) in the interval \( 0 \leq x \leq 2\pi \) are:
\[
x = 0, \frac{\pi}{3}, \pi, \frac{5\pi}{3}, 2\pi
\]
Solution
Solve the equation by following steps:
- step0: Solve for \(x\):
\(\sin\left(2x\right)-\sin\left(x\right)=0\)
- step1: Transform the expression:
\(2\cos\left(\frac{3x}{2}\right)\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=0\)
- step2: Elimination the left coefficient:
\(\cos\left(\frac{3x}{2}\right)\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=0\)
- step3: Separate into possible cases:
\(\begin{align}&\cos\left(\frac{3x}{2}\right)=0\\&\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=0\end{align}\)
- step4: Solve the equation:
\(\begin{align}&x=\frac{\pi }{3}+\frac{2k\pi }{3},k \in \mathbb{Z}\\&x=2k\pi ,k \in \mathbb{Z}\end{align}\)
- step5: Find the union:
\(x=\left\{ \begin{array}{l}2k\pi \\\frac{\pi }{3}+\frac{2k\pi }{3}\end{array}\right.,k \in \mathbb{Z}\)
To solve the equation \( \sin(2x) = \sin(x) \) within the interval \( 0 \leq x \leq 2\pi \), we can start by rewriting the equation:
\[
\sin(2x) - \sin(x) = 0
\]
Using the double angle identity, we know that \( \sin(2x) = 2\sin(x)\cos(x) \). Thus, we can rewrite the equation as:
\[
2\sin(x)\cos(x) - \sin(x) = 0
\]
Factoring out \( \sin(x) \):
\[
\sin(x)(2\cos(x) - 1) = 0
\]
This gives us two cases to solve:
1. \( \sin(x) = 0 \)
2. \( 2\cos(x) - 1 = 0 \)
### Case 1: \( \sin(x) = 0 \)
The solutions for \( \sin(x) = 0 \) in the interval \( 0 \leq x \leq 2\pi \) are:
\[
x = 0, \pi, 2\pi
\]
### Case 2: \( 2\cos(x) - 1 = 0 \)
Solving for \( \cos(x) \):
\[
\cos(x) = \frac{1}{2}
\]
The solutions for \( \cos(x) = \frac{1}{2} \) in the interval \( 0 \leq x \leq 2\pi \) are:
\[
x = \frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{5\pi}{3}
\]
### Final Solutions
Combining the solutions from both cases, we have:
\[
x = 0, \pi, 2\pi, \frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{5\pi}{3}
\]
Thus, the complete set of solutions for \( \sin(2x) = \sin(x) \) in the interval \( 0 \leq x \leq 2\pi \) is:
\[
x = 0, \frac{\pi}{3}, \pi, \frac{5\pi}{3}, 2\pi
\]
