Answer:
2cos^2 x + 3sinx = 0
2 ( 1 - sin^2x ) + 3sinx = 0
2 - 2sin^2x + 3sinx = 0
- 2sin^2x + 3sinx + 2 = 0
let sin x = a
- 2 a ^2 + 3 a + 2 = 0
2 a^2 - 3a - 2 = 0
2 a^2 - 4a + a - 2 = 0
2a ( a - 2 ) + a - 2 = 0
( a - 2 ) ( 2a + 1 ) = 0
a - 2 = 0 or 2a + 1 = 0
a = 2 or a = - 1/2
therefore a = sin x = 2 or - 1/2
value of sin x is always between -1 and 1
so we only take sin x = -1/2
sin x = - 1/2
sin x = sin 7π/6
General solution
when sin x = sin y
x = nπ + ( - 1 ) ^n y ,where n ∈ Z
here
y = 7π/6
therefore
x = nπ + ( - 1 ) ^n 7π/6 where n ∈ Z ( answer )
