I have been given the equation $$\cos^2{x} + 2\sin{x}=2.$$
I have factored it, and the only answer I got was $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$.
Is this correct or is there more than one answer? The interval is $0 \leq x \leq 2\pi$.
So it is withing one rotation of the unit circle.
$$1-\sin^2 x+2\sin x=2\implies \sin^2 x-2\sin x+1=0\implies (\sin x-1)^2=0$$ so $$\sin x=1$$ and the solutions are $${\pi\over 2}+2n\pi,\;\;n\in \mathbb{Z}$$
