To solve this inequality, we can first factor out sin x:
sin x(2sin x + 1) ≥ 0
Now we need to find the values of x that satisfy this inequality. There are three cases to consider:
Case 1: sin x = 0If sin x = 0, then the inequality simplifies to:0(2(0) + 1) ≥ 00 ≥ 0
Since 0 is greater than or equal to 0, this case is true for all values of x where sin x = 0.
Case 2: 2sin x + 1 = 0If 2sin x + 1 = 0, then sin x = -1/2. The solutions for this case will be the x values where sin x = -1/2.
Case 3: sin x(2sin x + 1) > 0If sin x and 2sin x + 1 have the same sign (both positive or both negative), then their product is positive.
For sin x > 0 and 2sin x + 1 > 0:sin x > 0 and sin x > -1/2This is true for x in the first and second quadrant.
For sin x < 0 and 2sin x + 1 < 0:sin x < 0 and sin x < -1/2This is true for x in the third and fourth quadrant.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality 2sin^2 x + sin x ≥ 0 is:x ∈ [0, π] ∪ [2π, 3π] ∪ ...
or in interval notation:[0, π] ∪ [2π, 3π] ∪ ...

If sin x and 2sin x + 1 have the same sign (both positive or both negative), then their product is positive.
For sin x > 0 and 2sin x + 1 > 0:
sin x > 0 and sin x > -1/2
This is true for x in the first and second quadrant.
For sin x < 0 and 2sin x + 1 < 0:
sin x < 0 and sin x < -1/2
This is true for x in the third and fourth quadrant.
