Answer the following questions on trigonometric equations: (i) State the zero–product principle. (ii) Explain why, when a trigonometric equation can be written in the form f(x)g(x)=0f(x)g(x)=0, the complete solution set is obtained by solving f(x)=0f(x)=0 and g(x)=0g(x)=0 separately. (iii) Write the general solution of (a) sin⁡x=0\sin x=0 and (b) cos⁡x=0\cos x=0. Explain briefly how periodicity is used in writing these results.
