#(kpi)/2, kpi#

Explanation:

5sin 4x + 10sin 2x = 0
Reminder: sin 4x = 2sin 2x.cos 2x:
10sin 2x.cos 2x + 10sin 2x = 0
10sin 2x(cos 2x + 1) = 0
Either sin 2x or (cos 2x + 1) should be zero:
a. sin 2x = 0 -->
#2x = 0 + 2kpi# --> #x = kpi#
#2x = pi + 2kpi# --> #x = pi/2 + kpi#
#2x = 2pi + 2kpi# --> #x = pi + kpi#
b. cos 2x + 1 = 0 --> cos 2x = -1
#2x = + pi + 2kpi#
#x = + pi/2 + kpi#
Answers for [0, 2pi]:
#0, pi/2, pi#
General answers:
#x = (kpi)/2#
#x = kpi#
