sin^2 x + sin x - 2; where do I begin when factoring?

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

Put a = sin x and rewrite the equation as a^2 + a -2. after you factor it like regular quadratic replace a with sin x

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

the factors are (a +2 ) ( a - 1) now replace a with sin x factors will be ( Sin x + 2) ( Sin x - 1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):
