Really, that is inappropriate.

I am sorry Collins that I can't help you with this question. I am currently in Pre-Calc so I haven't learned this topic in great detail yet.
This is a challenge analytically, but using the graph it is easy:

Coming up with the solutions -π/2, 0, π/2 is easy, but showing there are no others is tough.
