solve sin^2 + sin x - 20 =0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I answered this already. sinx = -5 and sinx = 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not possible is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can see this from the original equation since sine is no greater than one and no less than -1, it is not possible for sine squared plus sine to equal minus twenty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so does that mean I can convert it to degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. Those are invalid values of a sine function. It can only go from -1 to +1.

thank you
