Let a = sin x.
Hence, the expression will become:
Then, let's factor out the expression above. Here are the steps:
1. Find factors of the constant term -2 that will result in the middle term which is 1.
Factors of -2 are:
a. 1 and -2 → sum is -1
b. -1 and 2 → sum is 1
Hence, the factors of -2 that will result in 1 are -1 and 2.
2. Applying the factors -1 and 2, the factors of the expression are:
Since we let a = sin x, replace "a" in the factors above with sin x.
The factors of the given algebraic expression are [sin (x) - 1][sin (x) + 2].
