How do you solve @@50\text{sin}^2x = 50 + 75\text{sin}x@@?

• Rearrange to form a quadratic equation in terms of @@\text{sin}x@@: @@50\text{sin}^2x - 75\text{sin}x - 50 = 0@@. Use the quadratic formula to find @@\text{sin}x@@, then solve for @@x@@.

• Use trigonometric identities to simplify the equation and find @@x@@ directly.

• Graph the function and find the intersection points with the x-axis.

• Differentiate the equation and find the critical points.
