The equation is meaningful if `sin x le 5/2` which is always true. Any x for which `sin x lt 1/6` cannot be solution, since `sqrt(5-2 sin x gt 0)` for all x. On squaring the equation, we get `5-2 sin x =36 sin^(2) x-12 sin x+1` or `18 sin^(2) x-5x-2=0` `:. (9 sin x+2)(2 sin x-1)=0` `:. sin x=-2/9 or sin x=1/2` But `sin x=-2/9` is not possible `" "( :' sin x lt 1/6" is not possible")` `:. sin x=1/2` `rArr x=n pi +(-1)^(n) pi/6, n in Z`
