Find all solutions of the equation in the interval {eq}\left[ 0,2\pi \right) {/eq}.

{eq}\sin \left( x+\dfrac{\pi }{3} \right)+\sin \left( x-\dfrac{\pi }{3} \right)=1 {/eq}

Question:

Find all solutions of the equation in the interval {eq}\left[ 0,2\pi \right) {/eq}.

{eq}\sin \left( x+\dfrac{\pi }{3} \right)+\sin \left( x-\dfrac{\pi }{3} \right)=1 {/eq}

Trigonometric Identities:

For any two angles {eq}A {/eq} and {eq}B {/eq}, we can convert the product of sine and cosine into the sum of sines as per the identity {eq}2\sin A\cos B = \sin \left( {A + B} \right) + \sin \left( {A - B} \right) {/eq}. The sine of the angle {eq}\dfrac{\pi }{3} {/eq} is {eq}\dfrac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2} {/eq} and its cosine value is {eq}\dfrac{1}{2} {/eq}.
