Answer:

A.
x_(1) = -44.427^(\circ)\pm n\cdot 360^(\circ)

B.
x_(2) = -135.573^(\circ)\pm n\cdot 360^(\circ)

Explanation:

The negative value of the sine function indicates that
x is located at third and fourth quadrants. Besides, this function has a period of 360º. There are two families of solutions:


x_(1) = \sin^(-1) (-0.7)


x_(1) = -44.427^(\circ)\pm n\cdot 360^(\circ)


x_(2) = \sin^(-1) (-0.7)


x_(2) = -135.573^(\circ)\pm n\cdot 360^(\circ)

Hence, right answers are A and B.
