$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\cos \theta+\sin \theta-1}{1-2 \sin ^{2} \theta}=2(\cos \theta+\sin \theta-1) \text { leading to } 1=2\left(1-2 \sin ^{2} \theta\right) \end{aligned}$$

*M1

Replacing LHS with the expression from (b) and attempting to simplify i.e. condone omission of
$(\cos \theta+\sin \theta-1)=0$ at this stage.
M0 for $0=2\left(1-2 \sin ^{2} \theta\right)$$k \sin ^{2} \theta=1$ or 3 leading to $\sin \theta=[ \pm] \sqrt{\frac{1 \text { or } 3}{k}}$$$\left[4 \sin ^{2} \theta=1 \text { leading to } \sin \theta= \pm \frac{1}{2}\right]$$
Dividing by k and taking the square root of a positive value <1.

This mark can be implied by the solutions $\frac{1}{6} \pi, \frac{5}{6} \pi$.

Solutions $0, \frac{1}{6} \pi, \frac{1}{2} \pi, \frac{5}{6} \pi$
Allow 0, 0.524, 1.57, 2.62 AWRT.

If M0 SCB1 for $(\cos \theta+\sin \theta-1)=0 \Rightarrow 0, \frac{1}{2} \pi$.

If M0 SCB1 for all four correct answers and no others. Ignore answers outside of the range.
