Step-by-step explanation:
This question is asking us to find where sin(2x + 30) has a sin of 1. If you look at the unit circle, 90 degrees has a sin of 1. Mathematically, it will be solved like this (begin by taking the inverse sin of both sides):
On the left, the inverse sin "undoes" or cancels the sin, leaving us with
2x + 30 = sin⁻¹(1)
The right side is asking us what angle has a sin of 1, which is 90. Sub that into the right side:
2x + 30 = 90 and
2x = 60 so
x = 30
