Question

If sin^2 x - 2 sin x = 1, then sin x =​

Answer 1

`\sin x = 1-\sqrt 2`

Step by step explanation:

`~~~\sin^2 x -2 \sin x=1\\ \\\implies \sin^2 x-2 \sin x +1^2 = 1+1\\\\\implies (\sin x - 1)^2 =2\\\\\implies \sin x -1=\pm \sqrt 2\\\\\implies \sin x = 1\pm\sqrt 2\\\\\text{Since}~ -1\leq \sin x \leq 1, ~~ \sin x = 1-\sqrt 2`
