Step 1 — isolate the ratio. 2sin⁡θ−1=0⇒sin⁡θ=122\sin\theta-1=0 \Rightarrow \sin\theta=\dfrac12.

Step 2 — identify the standard angle. 12=sin⁡30∘=sin⁡π6\dfrac12=\sin30^\circ=\sin\dfrac{\pi}{6}, so α=π6\alpha=\dfrac{\pi}{6}.

Step 3 — apply the general-solution formula for sine. sin⁡θ=sin⁡α⇒θ=nπ+(−1)nα\sin\theta=\sin\alpha \Rightarrow \theta=n\pi+(-1)^n\alpha, giving θ=nπ+(−1)nπ6\theta=n\pi+(-1)^n\dfrac{\pi}{6}, n∈Zn\in\mathbb{Z}. …
