Question

Factor the algebraic expression below in terms of a single trigonometric function
sin^2(x) + sin(x) - 2

Answer 1

do you know how to factor \[x^2+x-2\]

Answer 2

(x+2)(x-1)?

Answer 3

great! now treat sinx at x

Answer 4

instead of x you have sinx

Answer 5

so (sin(x)+2)(sin(x)-1)?

Answer 6

exaclty! great job

Answer 7

good skill my friend just got work more :)

Answer 8

that's your answer! are you not satisfied perhaps hehehe

Answer 9

what does it mean by "single trigonometric function"?

Answer 10

it mean no squares or other powers
just sinx

Answer 11

when you wrote it (sinx +2)(sinx-1)
there is no squares any more
that's what they meant

Answer 12

Don't pay much attention to that
they could just ask factor the expression
