Answer:

all values of x between 0 and 2 pi are 0.12, 1.45, 3.24, and 4.59.

In degrees, this is 6.88, 83.1, 185.6 and 262.98 degrees.

Explanation:

First we realize that


\sin 2x=2\sin x\cos x

therefore, the equation


(2\sin x\cos x)^2+4\sin 2x=1

becomes


(\sin 2x)^2+4\sin 2x=1

We can complete the square here by adding 4 to both sides. This gives


(\sin 2x)^2+4\sin 2x+4=5
(\sin 2x+2)^2=5

taking the square root of both sides gives


\sin 2x+2=\sqrt[]{5}

Subtracting 2 from both sides gives


\sin 2x=\sqrt[]{5}-2

Finally, taking the inverse of both sides gives


2x=\sin ^(-1)\lbrack\sqrt[]{5}-2\rbrack
x=\frac{\sin ^(-1)\lbrack\sqrt[]{5}-2\rbrack}{2}

The first two values of the inverse function are


\begin{gathered} \frac{\sin ^(-1)\lbrack\sqrt[]{5}-2\rbrack}{2}=0.12 \\ \end{gathered}
\frac{\sin^(-1)\lbrack\sqrt[]{5}-2\rbrack}{2}=1.45
\frac{\sin^(-1)\lbrack\sqrt[]{5}-2\rbrack}{2}=3.24


\frac{\sin^(-1)\lbrack\sqrt[]{5}-2\rbrack}{2}=4.59

Hence, all values of x between 0 and 2 pi are 0.12, 1.45, 3.24, and 4.59.

In degrees, this is 6.88, 83.1, 185.6 and 262.98 degrees.
