Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Identify the equation to solve.

    The equation given is:

    sin⁡θ+sin⁡2θ=0\sin \theta + \sin^2 \theta = 0
  2. Factor out the common term.

    We can factor out sin⁡θ\sin \theta from both terms:

    sin⁡θ(1+sin⁡θ)=0\sin \theta (1 + \sin \theta) = 0
  3. Set each factor equal to zero and solve for sin⁡θ\sin \theta.

    This equation holds true if either factor is zero.
    Case 1: sin⁡θ=0\sin \theta = 0
    Case 2: 1+sin⁡θ=0  ⟹  sin⁡θ=−11 + \sin \theta = 0 \implies \sin \theta = -1

  4. Find the general solutions for θ\theta for each case.

    Case 1: sin⁡θ=0\sin \theta = 0
    The general solution for sin⁡θ=0\sin \theta = 0 occurs at integer multiples of π\pi.

    θ=nπ\theta = n\pi

    where nn is an integer.

    Case 2: sin⁡θ=−1\sin \theta = -1
    The general solution for sin⁡θ=−1\sin \theta = -1 occurs at 3π2\frac{3\pi}{2} plus any integer multiple of 2π2\pi.

    θ=3π2+2nπ\theta = \frac{3\pi}{2} + 2n\pi

    where nn is an integer.

  5. State the complete set of general solutions.

    Combining the solutions from both cases, the general solutions for θ\theta are:

    θ=nπandθ=3π2+2nπwhere n∈Z\boxed{\theta = n\pi \quad \text{and} \quad \theta = \frac{3\pi}{2} + 2n\pi \quad \text{where } n \in \mathbb{Z}}
