What is the sollution of sin2x-sin3x?I got two solutions +-Pi/5 and +-3Pi/5 ...but I can't get one more, that is kPi...

We'll re-write what the enunciation provided in a proper
manner:


sin 2x - sin 3x =
0


We'll transform the difference of sines into a product,
to solve the equation:


sin a - sin b =
2cos[(a+b)/2]*sin[(a-b)/2]


sin 2x - sin 3x =
2cos[(2x+3x)/2]*sin[(2x-3x)/2]


sin 2x - sin 3x =
2cos[(5x)/2]*sin[(-x)/2]


We'll re-write the
equation:


2cos[(5x)/2]*sin[(-x)/2] =
0


We'll divide by
2:


cos[(5x)/2]*sin[(-x)/2] =
0


We'll cancel each
factor:


cos[(5x)/2] = 0


5x/2 =
+/-arccos 0 + 2kpi


5x/2 = +/-(pi/2) +
2kpi


5x = +/-(pi) + 4kpi


x =
+/-(pi/5) + 4kpi/5


sin[(-x)/2] =
0


x/2 = (-1)^k*arcsin 0 +
kpi


x/2 = kpi


x =
2kpi


The solutions of the equation are:
{-(pi/5) + 4kpi/5}U{(pi/5) + 4kpi/5}U{2kpi}.

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
