Question: Find all solutions of the equation

sin[theta]*(cos[theta]-1=0


My work:

sin[theta]*cos[theta]-sin[theta]

cos[theta]=0 or cos[theta]=1

*Am I going in the right path I'm really confused on what to do*

sin({\theta})cos({\theta})=sin({\theta})

sin({\theta}) is 0 if we have multiples of Pi.

{\theta}=C{\pi}
