2 sin^2 + sin x - 3 = 0

x = 2 π n_1 + π/2 for n_1 element Z

or x = π + sin^(-1)(3/2) + 2 π n_2 for n_2 element Z or x = 2 π n_3 - sin^(-1)(3/2) for n_3 element Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-3 + sin(x) + 2 sin^2(x) = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(sin(x) - 1) (2 sin(x) + 3) = 0

Split into two equations:

sin(x) - 1 = 0 or 2 sin(x) + 3 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

sin(x) = 1 or 2 sin(x) + 3 = 0

Take the inverse sine of both sides:

x = 2 π n_1 + π/2 for n_1 element Z

or 2 sin(x) + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = 2 π n_1 + π/2 for n_1 element Z

or 2 sin(x) = -3

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 2 π n_1 + π/2 for n_1 element Z

or sin(x) = -3/2

Take the inverse sine of both sides:

 x = 2 π n_1 + π/2 for n_1 element Z

or x = π + sin^(-1)(3/2) + 2 π n_2 for n_2 element Z or x = 2 π n_3 - sin^(-1)(3/2) for n_3 element Z
