Question
The equation shown is:

\[
\sqrt{2} \sin^2 \theta - \sin \theta = 0
\]

This is a trigonometric equation where \(\theta\) is the variable. To solve for \(\theta\), one common approach is to factor the equation:

1. Factor out \(\sin \theta\):

   \[
   \sin \theta (\sqrt{2} \sin \theta - 1) = 0
   \]

2. Set each factor to zero:

   \[
   \sin \theta = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad \sqrt{2} \sin \theta - 1 = 0
   \]

3. Solve each equation:
   - For \(\sin \theta = 0\), \(\theta = n\pi\), where \(n\) is an integer.
   - For \(\sqrt{2} \sin \theta = 1\), \(\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\). This is where \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{4} + 2k\pi\) or \(\theta = \frac{3\pi}{4} + 2k\pi\), where \(k\) is an integer.

These solutions encompass all possible \(\theta\) values that satisfy the original equation.
