To solve this trigonometric equation, we can use the Pythagorean identity sin^2x + cos^2x = 1.
We can rewrite the equation as:
sin^2x - 2sinxcosx - 3(1 - sin^2x) = 0
Expanding and simplifying, we get:
sin^2x - 2sinxcosx - 3 + 3sin^2x = 04sin^2x - 2sinxcosx - 3 = 0
Let's rewrite the equation as:
4sin^2x - 2sinxcosx - 3 = 0
Let's factor the equation as follows:
(2sinx + 1)(2sinx - 3) = 0
Setting each factor to zero gives:
2sinx + 1 = 0sinx = -1/2x = arcsin(-1/2) + 2nπ or x = π - π/6 + 2nπ or x = 5π/6 + 2nπ
2sinx - 3 = 0sinx = 3/2 (which is not a valid solution since sine function has a range of -1 to 1)
So, the solutions to the equation are x = π - π/6 + 2nπ or x = 5π/6 + 2nπ, where n is an integer.
