Solve trigonometric inequality sin x + 2 cos x < 2
2 t 1 + t 2 + 2 1 t 2 1 + t 2 < 2
4 t 2 2 t > 0
2 t ( 2 t 1 ) > 0
t ( 2 t 1 ) > 0
( t > 0 t > 1 2 ) ( t < 0 t < 1 2 )
From this, I can only find x < 2 π + 2 k π, and, x < 2 k π, these are good (I think), but I should find another two solutions.

You have used the substitution:
t = tan ( x 2 )
and the solution of the inequality is t < 0 t > 1 2
so you have:
tan ( x 2 ) < 0 tan ( x 2 ) > 1 2
the solution of the first inequality is:
π 2 + k π < x 2 < 0 + k π ( 2 k 1 ) π < x < 2 k π
and the solution of the second inequality is:
tan 1 ( 1 2 ) + k π < x 2 < π 2 + k π 2 tan 1 ( 1 2 ) + 2 k π < x < π + 2 k π

sin ( x + cos 1 1 5 ) = 2 5 , o r , sin ( x + tan 1 2 ) = 2 5 .
which you can further.
