X being an angle, solve

Sorry, folks.......the answer to this question is shown by the graph below :

The solutions occur at 30, 90 and 150  degrees......

See my "workings" here : http://web2.0calc.com/questions/unanswered-question-x-being-an-angle-solve

Solve for x:
1-3 sin(x)+2 sin^2(x) = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:
(sin(x)-1) (2 sin(x)-1) = 0

Split into two equations:
sin(x)-1 = 0 or 2 sin(x)-1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:
sin(x) = 1 or 2 sin(x)-1 = 0

Take the inverse sine of both sides:
x = pi/2+2 pi n_1  for  n_1  element Z
   or  2 sin(x)-1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:
x = pi/2+2 pi n_1  for  n_1  element Z
   or  2 sin(x) = 1

Divide both sides by 2:
x = pi/2+2 pi n_1  for  n_1  element Z
   or  sin(x) = 1/2

Take the inverse sine of both sides:
Answer: | 
| x = pi/2+2 pi n_1  for  n_1  element Z
  or  x = (5 pi)/6+2 pi n_2  for  n_2  element Z        or x = pi/6+2 pi n_3  for  n_3  element Z

I don't know what you tried to do, but that doesn't help me at all, sorry...

That is because you don't understand "complex solutions"!!. If you want to go to college and study advanced Math, your better start honing up on it, because it is the only game in town at that level.

Okay, someone please get an admin in here... Guest, I know how to do math, this problem is one that I do all of the time, I just can't figure this one out.

Hi Shades :)

2 sin2 x - 3 sin x + 1 = 0

$2 sin^2 x - 3 sin x + 1 = 0\\ let\;\; y=sin^2x\\ 2y^2-3y+1=0\\ 2y^2-2y-y+1=0\\ 2y(y-1)-1(y-1)=0\\ (2y-1)(y-1)=0\\ 2y-1=0 \qquad or \qquad y-1=0\\ 2y=1 \qquad or \qquad y=1\\ y=\frac{1}{2} \qquad or \qquad y=1\\ so\\ sin^2x=\frac{1}{2} \qquad or \qquad sin^2x=1\\ sinx=\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \qquad or \qquad sinx=\pm1\\$

$x=45^0,135^0,225^0,315^0, 90^0,\;\;or \;\;270^0$

Wake up Melody.

HaHa, nice one guest... No offense Melody!

Huh?  I don't do cryptic very well   

Look again at your solution #5

Thanks guest #9.    I have edited my answer.
