A curve has parametric equations x = 1 - cos(t), y = sin(t)sin(2t) for 0 <= t <= pi. Find the coordinates where the curve meets the x-axis.

If the curve is meeting the x-axis, notice that this means y = 0. So we must solve sin(t)sin(2t) = 0 for t within the given bounds. Using a trigonometric identity sin(2t) = 2cos(t)sin(t), we obtain sin
