how do I solve for x in, sin2x=2sinx when in the intervals of [0,2pi)?

Thanks Alan,

I had to think about that one, but yes of course any x where sin x =0 will be a solution.

This is why it is best to use facorization to make sure you get ALL the solutions.

 

$$\\2sinxcosx=2sinx\\
2sinxcosx-2sinx=0\\
2sinx(cosx-1)=0\\
sinx=0\;\;OR\;\;cosx=1\\
x=0,\pi\;\; OR\;\;x=0\\
$The 2 solution are $x=0\:\;and\;\;x=\pi$$

$$\\2sinxcosx=2sinx\\
cosx=1\\
x=0$$

x = pi is also a solution
