Answer

$\frac{ \pi}{2},\frac{3 \pi}{2}$,$\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{5 \pi}{6}$

Work Step by Step

Need to find the range for $x$ for the equation $sin2x=cosx$ $2sinxcosx-cosx=0$ $cosx(2sinx-1)=0$ Here, $cosx=0$ gives $x =\frac{ \pi}{2},\frac{3 \pi}{2}$ and $2sinx-1=0$ gives $sinx=\frac{1}{2}$ Hence, x = $\frac{ \pi}{2},\frac{3 \pi}{2}$,$\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
