Inconsistent results for the the root of an equation?

Hi Guys

I am new to Mathematica, and still getting used to its interface.

Please refer to the attached image (1), it is a bit unclear, however I believe that it is readable.

The code presented in the image is the roots of an equation. When retyping the same code into Mathematica I get a completely different answer as per image (2).

Apologies but I am running Mathematica from my Pi and struggling to post on the forum from Rasbian.

Can anyone assist with an explanation for the difference in results?

It is your inconsistency in the capitalization: Sin and Cos, instead of sin and cos.

Try Solve instead of Roots.
