First, let's expand the expression:
sin x + (cos x/2 - sin x/2)(cos x/2 + sin x/2)
= sin x + (cos^2 x/4 - sin^2 x/4)= sin x + cos^2 x/4 - sin^2 x/4
Now we can use the Pythagorean identity sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1 to simplify further:
sin x + (1/4 - sin^2 x/4)= sin x + 1/4 - sin^2 x/4
Now we have the equation:sin x + 1/4 - sin^2 x/4 = 0
Multiplying by 4 to get rid of the fraction gives us:4sin x + 1 - sin^2 x = 0
Rearranging the terms gives:sin^2 x + 4sin x + 1 = 0
This is a quadratic equation in terms of sin x. It can be solved using the quadratic formula.
sin x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2asin x = (-4 ± √(16 - 4))/2sin x = (-4 ± √12)/2
Therefore, the solutions for sin x are:sin x = (-4 + √12)/2 and sin x = (-4 - √12)/2
These can be further simplified if needed.
