3-cos(x) = 3sin^2(x)
----
3 - cos(x) = 3(1-cos^2(x))
-----
3 - cos(x) = 3 - 3cos^2(x)
----
3cos^2(x)-cos(x) = 0
---
cos(x)[3cos(x)-1] = 0
cos(x) = 0 or cos(x) = 1/3
x = pi/2 or (3/2)pi or +-1.2310 radians
=======================================
cosx/1-sinx=1-sinx/cosx
---
Cross-multiply to get:
cos^2(x) = 1-2sin(x)+sin^2(x)
-----
1-sin^2(x) = 1 - 2sin(x) + sin^2(x)
-----
2sin^2(x) -2sin(x) = 0
-----
sin(x)[2sin(x)-1] = 0
-----
sin(x) = 0 or sin(x) = 1/2
x = 0 or pi or pi/6 or (5/6)pi
