Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the given trigonometric equation, we first apply the double angle identity for sine, which is \(\sin(2x) = 2\sin(x)\cos(x)\). This allows us to rewrite the equation in a simpler form. Next, we factor the equation to find the solutions for \(x\) within the specified interval. We solve each factor separately to find all possible solutions in degrees.
Step 1: Rewrite the Equation
We start with the equation:
\[
-\sin(2x) \cos(x) + \sin(x) = 0
\]
Using the double angle identity \(\sin(2x) = 2\sin(x)\cos(x)\), we can rewrite the equation as:
\[
-\sin(x)(2\cos^2(x) - 1) = 0
\]
Step 2: Factor the Equation
The equation can be factored into two parts:
\[
-\sin(x) = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad 2\cos^2(x) - 1 = 0
\]
Step 3: Solve Each Factor
For \(-\sin(x) = 0\):
\[
\sin(x) = 0 \implies x = 0, 360 \text{ degrees}
\]
