Bear in mind that, when it comes to trigonometric functions, the location of the exponent can be a bit misleading, however recall that sin²(θ) is really [ sin( θ )]²,
![\bf 2sin^2(2x)=2\implies sin^2(2x)=\cfrac{2}{2} \\\\\\ sin^2(2x)=1\implies [sin(2x)]^2=1\implies sin(2x)=\pm\sqrt{1} \\\\\\ sin(2x)=\pm 1\implies sin^{-1}[sin(2x)]=sin^{-1}(\pm 1)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%202sin%5E2%282x%29%3D2%5Cimplies%20sin%5E2%282x%29%3D%5Ccfrac%7B2%7D%7B2%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0Asin%5E2%282x%29%3D1%5Cimplies%20%5Bsin%282x%29%5D%5E2%3D1%5Cimplies%20sin%282x%29%3D%5Cpm%5Csqrt%7B1%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0Asin%282x%29%3D%5Cpm%201%5Cimplies%20sin%5E%7B-1%7D%5Bsin%282x%29%5D%3Dsin%5E%7B-1%7D%28%5Cpm%201%29)
<u>Answer:</u>
x = 4 (extraneous solution)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
This solution is extraneous. Reason being that even if it can be solved algebraically, it is still not a valid solution because if we substitute back , we will get two fractions with zero denominator which would be undefined.
