2sin²(x) = 1 - sin(x)
2sin²(x) + sin(x) - 1 = 0
Let y = sin(x)
Use:
2y² + y - 1 = 0
Factor:
(2y - 1)(y + 1) = 0
y = 1/2
or y = -1
sine values are positive in Quadrant 1 and 2, and negative in Quadrants 3 and 4.
sin(x) = 1/2
or sin(x) = -1
sin(x) = 1/2
π/6 which is 30° and 5π/6 which is 150°
sin(x) = -1
3π/2 or 270°
