   2sin x + cos x = 1     (√5) ((2/( (√5))) sin x + (1/( (√5))) cos x)= 1   cos (x−α) = (1/( (√5))) ; α=arctan (2)    x= ± arccos ((1/( (√5))))+arctan (2)+2kπ ,k∈Z

((2sin (x/2)∙cos (x/2))/(2sin^2 (x/2)))=(1/2)  cot (x/2)=1/2⇔tan (x/2)=2  x/2=tan^(−1) 2+πn, n∈Z  x=2tan^(−1) 2+2πn, n∈Z

$$\frac{\mathrm{2sin}\:\left(\mathrm{x}/\mathrm{2}\right)\centerdot\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\mathrm{x}/\mathrm{2}\right)}{\mathrm{2sin}\:^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{x}/\mathrm{2}\right)}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{cot}\:\left(\mathrm{x}/\mathrm{2}\right)=\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{2}\Leftrightarrow\mathrm{tan}\:\left(\mathrm{x}/\mathrm{2}\right)=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}/\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{2}+\pi\mathrm{n},\:\mathrm{n}\in\mathbb{Z} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{2tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{2}+\mathrm{2}\pi\mathrm{n},\:\mathrm{n}\in\mathbb{Z} \\ $$
