pre-calc trig find all solutions to the equation 7 sin^2x - 14 sin x + 2 = -5

Parth (parthkohli):

Replace \(\sin^2(x) \) with \(u^2\) and \(\sin(x)\) with \(u\). Quadratic equation right there

OpenStudy (miamiamia):

do I add the -5 to the 2?

OpenStudy (miamiamia):

bc quad equations always = 0 right?

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes

OpenStudy (miamiamia):

then we end up with (u-1) (7u-7)

OpenStudy (miamiamia):

then I switch the u back to sin x right?

Parth (parthkohli):

mhm

Parth (parthkohli):

no, first for \(u\)

OpenStudy (miamiamia):

wait, yeahso we end up with sinx=1 and sinx=1...?

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, :)

Parth (parthkohli):

And you can do it

OpenStudy (miamiamia):

ahh this is the part I get mixed up in :/
