For convenience substitute and modify the trigonometric equation:
, since and
, substituting we get: =>
=> . In the last equation
substitute and get the quadratic equation: ,
Solving this equation we find y=1 and y=-1/2.
Trigonometric equation is equivalent with two new equations:
and . Solving these equations we have;
=> degree and => , and
degree.
