you have 2sin2x = 1
so, sin2x = 1/2
2x = pi/6 + 2n*pi
x = pi/12 + n*pi = pi/12, 13pi/12
so, sin2x = 1/2
2x = pi/6 + 2n*pi
x = pi/12 + n*pi = pi/12, 13pi/12

from sin 2x = 1/2
2x = π/6 or 2x = π-π/6 = 5π/6
x = π/12 or 5π/12
but the period of sin 2x is π
so we get 2 more solutions:
x = π/12 + π = 13π/12
or
x = 5π/12 + π = 17π/12
in [ 0 , 2π]
x = π/12 , 5π/12 , 13π/12 and 17π/12
2x = π/6 or 2x = π-π/6 = 5π/6
x = π/12 or 5π/12
but the period of sin 2x is π
so we get 2 more solutions:
x = π/12 + π = 13π/12
or
x = 5π/12 + π = 17π/12
in [ 0 , 2π]
x = π/12 , 5π/12 , 13π/12 and 17π/12
