Solution: B

\texttyle2sin2(x)+sin(x)1=0cos2x=cos2(x)sin2(x)cos2(x)=1sin2(x)

sin(x)=cos(2x)

First set y = sinx and solve:   2y2 + y - 1 = 0 for y.

 

Since the LHS factors nicely, we have (y+1)*(2y-1) = 0

so y = -1 and y = 1/2

 

sin(x) = -1 implies x = 3pi/2 + 2npi  where n is an integer

I'll leave you to work out what values of x make sin(x) = 1/2 .

Let y=sinx

 

Then solve for y

 

Then put the sinx back in and solve for x

 

Give it a go from there.

I see Alan beat me.  Thanks Alan :)
