The solution

You have entered [src]
sin(x) = -1/2
$$\sin{\left(x \right)} = - \frac{1}{2}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\sin{\left(x \right)} = - \frac{1}{2}$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$x = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{asin}{\left(- \frac{1}{2} \right)}$$
$$x = 2 \pi n - \operatorname{asin}{\left(- \frac{1}{2} \right)} + \pi$$
Or
$$x = 2 \pi n - \frac{\pi}{6}$$
$$x = 2 \pi n + \frac{7 \pi}{6}$$
, where n - is a integer
