This basic equation deploys in two independent equations. First equation is cos(x) + sin(x) = 0. It is equivalent to cos(x) = -sin(x) tan(x) = -1 Its general solution is x == . (1) Second equation is 1 - 2sin(x) = 0, which is the same as sin(x) = . Its general solution is x = and x = . (2) ANSWER. The general solution of the given equation is the union of these sets (1) and (2) x = and x = , x = .
