sin (x) = 1/2
$$\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{2}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{2}$$
Transform
$$\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} - \frac{1}{2} = 0$$
$$- \frac{\cos{\left(2 x \right)}}{2} = 0$$
Consider each factor separately

Step


$$\cos{\left(2 x \right)} = 0$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
We get:
$$\cos{\left(2 x \right)} = 0$$
This equation is transformed to
$$2 x = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(0 \right)}$$
$$2 x = 2 \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(0 \right)}$$
Or
$$2 x = 2 \pi n + \frac{\pi}{2}$$
$$2 x = 2 \pi n - \frac{\pi}{2}$$
, where n - is a integer
Divide both parts of the equation by
$$2$$
get the intermediate answer:
$$x = \pi n + \frac{\pi}{4}$$
$$x = \pi n - \frac{\pi}{4}$$
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = \pi n + \frac{\pi}{4}$$
$$x_{2} = \pi n - \frac{\pi}{4}$$
