1. On the left-hand side, this equals Tan^2 x.
So Tan^2 x = 0 => Tan x =0. This happens at 0, pi and 2 pi.
2. If you divide by 2, you get
sin^2 x = 1 + cos x/2
I believe this only happens at pi/2
3. Since you have csc x on both sides, you can divide to get sec x = 2. Based on it being reciprocal cosine, sec x=2 happens when cosine x=1/2. This occurs at pi/3 and 5 pi/3
