.
(cos(x) + sin(x) )*(1-2sin(x))=0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


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 = arcsin%28-1%29+%2B+k%2Api = -pi%2F4+%2B+k%2Api.     (1)



Second equation is 

    1 - 2sin(x) = 0,

which is the same as

    sin(x) = 1%2F2.


Its general solution is

    x = pi%2F6+%2B+2k%2Api  and  x = 5pi%2F6+%2B+2k%2Api.    (2)



ANSWER.  The general solution of the given equation is the union of these sets (1) and (2)

         x = -pi%2F4+%2B+k%2Api  and  x = pi%2F6+%2B+2k%2Api,  x = 5pi%2F6+%2B+2k%2Api.

Solved.

%28cos%28theta+%29%2B+sin%28+theta%29+%29%281-2sin+%28theta%29%29=0
if cos%28theta+%29%2B+sin%28+theta%29+=0
=>cos%28theta+%29=-+sin%28+theta%29++
theta++=3pi%2F4%2Bpi%2An, n+element Z

if 1-2sin+%28theta%29=0
=>1=2sin+%28theta%29
=>1%2F2=sin+%28theta%29
theta=sin%5E-1+%281%2F2%29
theta=pi%2F6
combine solutions
radians:
theta=3pi%2F4%2Bpi%2An
theta=pi%2F6%2B2pi%2An
theta=5pi%2F6%2B2pi%2An
Degrees:
