sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x) .... trig identity

4 sinx cosx = 2sin(2x) = 1

sin(2x) = 1/2 so 2x = 30 degrees or pi/6 radians
The sin is also positive in the second qudarant so:
2x = 150 degrees or 5pi/6

therefore x = 15 degrees or pi/12 radians
and x = 75 degrees or 5pi/12 radians

Check:
4sin(15)cos(15) = 4(.2588)(.9659) = 1
4sin(75)cos(75) = 4(.9659)(.2588) = 1

4 sinx cosx=1
2(2sinx cos x) =1 From trigonometric identities
sin2x= 2 sin x cos x
2(sin2x)=1
sin2x=1/2
2x=Sin^-1 (1/2)
2x= 30
x=15 degrees, 180-15= 165 degrees
x=15 degrees

2sinxcosx = 2x1/4 = ½
sin(2x) = 1/2
2x = sininv(0.5)
2x = 30 degrees
x = 15 degrees in the first quadrant.

2x = 150 in the second quadrant ( sin is +ve in Ist and IInd quads).
x = 150/2 = 75 degrees.

4 sinxcosx =1
Sinx cosx =1/4

Since the two are multiplied, separate them:

Sin x= 1/4 cos x = 1/4
x=InvSin (1/4) x = InvCos (1/4)

Not exact numbers; need a calculator. There will be two answers for Sin x and two answers for Cos x.

2 ( 2 sin x cos x) = 1
( 2 sin x cos x) = 1/2
sin 2x = 1/2
2x = 30 deg
x = 15 deg

2x = 150
x = 75 deg

2sinxcosx=sin2x
=>4sinxcosx=2sin2x

by the problem,
2sin2x=1
or, sin2x=1/2=sin30 or sin(180-30)
x=15, or 75

4sinxcosx = 1
=> 2sinxcosx = 1/2
=> sin2x = sin 30 deg
=> 2x = n180 deg (+ or --) 30 deg, n=0,1,2,
=> 2x = 30deg, 150deg, 390deg, 510deg.
=> x = 15deg, 75deg, 195deg, 255deg.

those are incorrect. those are impressive: tan^2+a million=sec^2 cot^2+a million=csc^2 in case you're no longer expertise them, attempt a data. as an occasion, the 1st you may bypass like: Tan^2+a million=sec^2 (sin^2/cos^2)+(cos^2/cos^2)=sec^2 (sin^2+cos^2)/(cos^2)=sec^2 a million/cos^2=sec^2 sec^2=sec^2
