![Title: Solving Trigonometric Equations
Text:
Find all solutions to the equation:
\[ \sin^2(x) + \cos(x) = -1. \]
Possible Solution Choices:
(A) \( x = \frac{\pi}{6} + 2\pi n \)
(B) \( x = -\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{7\pi}{6} + 2\pi n \)
(C) no solutions
(D) \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} + 2\pi n \)
(E) \( x = -\pi + 2\pi n \)
Where \( n \) is any integer.
Explanation:
In solving this equation, we are dealing with the trigonometric functions sine (\(\sin\)) and cosine (\(\cos\)). The given equation \(\sin^2(x) + \cos(x) = -1\) needs to be explored to find all possible values of \( x \) that satisfy this condition. Each of the provided choices represents a set of possible solutions, but we need to determine which, if any, are correct. Notice that \( n \) stands for any integer, indicating that the solutions are periodic due to the nature of trigonometric functions.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8aee7c7d-285e-49c9-ad3b-faae5963cfad%2F2e0f3513-d09b-4b6d-9783-582d5da3c2ad%2Fby30caa_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
