Answer

$\theta=\{30^o,150^o,90^o,270^o\}$

Work Step by Step

$sin(2\theta)-cos(\theta)=0$ $2sin(\theta)cos(\theta)-cos(\theta)=0\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ $cos(\theta)\{2sin(\theta)-1\}=0$ $cos(\theta)=0\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;2sin(\theta)-1=0$ $cos(\theta)=0$ $\theta= cos^{-1}(0)$ $\theta=90^o\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\theta=270^o$ or$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;2sin(\theta)-1=0$ $2sin(\theta)=1\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ subtract each side from $1$. $sin(\theta)= \frac{1}{2}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ divide each side by $2$. $\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$ We know $ sin(\theta) $ is positive in quadrant $I$ and quadrant $II$ $\theta=30^o=\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\theta=180^o-30^o=150^o$ $\theta=30^o\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\theta=150^o$ $\theta=\{30^o,150^o,90^o,270^o\}$
