sin^2(x) + sin(x) -2 = 0(sin(x) - 1)(sin(x) + 2) = 0sin(x) = 1 or sin(x) = -2, but sin(x) is always less than or equal to 1 and greater than or equal to -1, so the only reasonable answer is sin(x) = 1.x is therefore 0 or any multiple of 2π radians.

Correction to my earlier answer,sin(x)=1x = π/2 or π(2n+1/2) where n is any integer.
