Find the solution to this equation:
2cos(x)sin(x)+cos(x)=0
The solution should be such that all angles are in radian. for solution the first angle should be between [0,2π) and then the period.
And when 2 or more solutions are available then the solution must be in increasing order of the angles.

Step 1
2cos(x)sin(x)+cos(x)=0
cos(x)(2sin(x)+1)=0
cos(x)=0or2sin(x)+1=0
cos(x)=0orsin(x)=12
first case:
when cosx=0.
cosx=cos(π2)
therefore, x=π2+2kπ
Step 2
when cosx=0.
cosx=cos(3π2)
therefore, x=3π2+2kπ
second case:
when sinx=12
sinx=sin(5π4)
therefore, x=5π4+2kπ
Step 3
when sinx=12
sinx=sin(7π4)
therefore, x=7π4+2kπ
therefore the combined solution is:
x=π2+2kπorx=5π4+2kπorx=3π2+2kπorx=7π4+2kπ
Step 4
therefore the solution of the given equation 2cos(x)sin(x)+cos(x)=0 is:
x=π2+2kπorx=5π4+2kπorx=3π2+2kπorx=7π4+2kπ
