- e.g. x = a and x = b
then the equation will be given by:
y = k ( x a )( x b)
k is a constant to be determined by another point.
Substitute another point into the equation to find k.
Find value of k

Exact Values
sin 2x sin x = 0
Replace sin 2x with 2 sin x cos x
2 sin x cos x sin x = 0
sin x ( 2cos x 1 ) = 0
No constant term
Ex.
cos 2x sin x = 0
Replace cos 2x with 1 2sin2 x
1 2 sin2 x sin x = 0
2 sin2 x + sin x 1 = 0
(2 sin x 1)(sin x + 1) = 0
