We have,
 a2+c2b2+2ac<0  (a+c)2b2<0
  (a+b+c)(a+cb)<0  f(1)f(1)<0
So the equation f (x) =0 will have 2 distinct solutions as exactly one root lie between (-1,1)
 sinx(sinx+cosx)=n42sin2x+2sinxcosx=n2
 1cos2x+sin2x=n2sin2xcos2x=n21
For the solution to be exists
 2n2122(12)n2(2+1)
 0.828n4.828
   Number of integral values of n is 5
