There are two angles in the unit circle, \displaystyle x=0\text{ } and \displaystyle x=\pi , whose sine has a value of zero.

We get the full solution when we add multiples of \displaystyle 2\pi ,


\displaystyle x=0+2n\pi and \displaystyle x=\pi +2n\pi ,

where \displaystyle n is an arbitrary integer.

NOTE: Because the difference between \displaystyle 0 and \displaystyle \pi is a half turn, the solutions are repeated every half turn and they can be summarized in one expression:


\displaystyle x=0+n\pi


where \displaystyle n is an arbitrary integer.
