Detailed Solution
Given equation is x2-2=sinx.There are three possibilities:sinx=-1,sinx=0,sinx=1Case I: If sinx=-1 x2=1orx=±1When x=1,sinx=0.But x=-1⇒sinx=-1 x=-1is a solution.Case II: If sinx=0 the equation is x2=2or x±2 sin2=0 But sin(-2)=-1. So, x=2 is a solution.Case III: If sinx=1x=π2,5π2,9π2Clearly, these values do not satisfy the original equation.Thus, number of solutions : 2
