please help! If sin2 x - 2sinx = 1, then sinx = _____. -1 ±sqroot 2 1 ±sqroot 2 << am i correct?? ± sqroot 2 1

OpenStudy (mertsj):

1. Subtract 1 from both sides 2. Plug into the quadratic formula 3. a = 1, b = -2, c = -1

OpenStudy (ttop0816):

it would be 2+sqroot8/2 & 2-sqroot8/2 right??

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yesb ut sqroot 8 = 2sqroot2 so you can divide everything by 2

OpenStudy (ttop0816):

then it would just be ± sqroot 2 correct?

OpenStudy (ttop0816):

or just 1?

OpenStudy (ttop0816):

???

OpenStudy (mertsj):

1+-sqroot2
