Find all solutions to the equation.

7 sin2x - 14 sin x + 2 = -5

If yall can help me for Pre-Calc, that would be great.
-Thanks.

Respuesta :

If the equation is

[tex]7\sin^2x-14\sin x+2=-5[/tex]

then rewrite the equation as

[tex]7\sin^2x-14\sin x+7=0[/tex]

Divide boths sides by 7:

[tex]\sin^2x-2\sin x+1=0[/tex]

Since [tex]x^2-2x+1=(x-1)^2[/tex], we can factorize this as

[tex](\sin x-1)^2=0[/tex]

Now solve for x :

[tex]\sin x-1=0[/tex]

[tex]\sin x=1[/tex]

[tex]\implies\boxed{x=\dfrac\pi2+2n\pi}[/tex]

where n is any integer.

If you meant sin(2x) instead, I'm not sure there's a simple way to get a solution...
