\sqrt2 -1\approx 0.4 \Rightarrow \sqrt2 -1 \in (0,1)

|x| is always non-negative, so the range of
(\sqrt2-1)^(|x|) is
(0,1]
The range of
\sin x is
[-1,1] => the range of
\sin^2x is
[0,1] => the range of
\sin^2x+1 is
[1,2]
The only common point of these two function is the one with y-coordinate = 1, so
y=1. Let's take one of these functions and find for which x, its value is equal to 1. I'll take the first one.

(\sqrt2-1)^(|x|)=1\\ \Downarrow\\ |x|=0\\ x=0
So,
x=0 :)
