OKay, so how would this equation be solved,
cosx-2sinxcosx=0
so I've tried this way...
cosx-2sinxcosx=0
cosx(1-2sinx)=0
and after that, i'm stuck.

Well this has multiple answers now doesn't it? :) You've factored correctly. You know that you're equation will be zero when cos(x)=0 and when 1-2sin(x)=0. So solve for both. I'll start you. The first time cos(x)=0 starting from 0 and moving positively is atand it will do so at every at every
after that. So I would write one zero as
where k is any integer.
Oh yes, silly me. I forgot about cosx=0. Thank you very much Jameson!
