Find the solution to the given trig equation for 0 is less than or equal to 0 is less than or equal to 2pi
sin^2 x - sinx = cos^2x
-----------------
sin^2(x) - sin(x) = 1 - sin^2(x)
------
2sin^2(x) - sin(x) - 1 = 0
------
(2sin(x)+1)(sin(x)-1) = 0
-------
sin(x) = -1/2 or sin(x) = 1
----------------------------------
If sin(x) = -1/2, x = (7/6)pi or x = (11/6)pi
------
If sin(x) = 1, x = pi/2
================================
