2sin2x−3(sinx+cosx)+2=0  4sinxcosx−3sinx−3cosx+2=0  2sin^2 x+4sinxcosx+2cos^2 x=3(sinx+cosx)  2(sinx+cosx)^2 −3(sinx+cosx)=0  (sinx+cosx)(2sinx+2cosx−3)=0  We obtain that   sinx+cosx=0  or  2(sinx+cosx)−3=0  (1) sinx+cosx=0  ∵ sinx=tanxcosx  ⇒ tanxcosx+cosx=0  cosx(tanx+1)=0   ⇒cosx=0⇔x=2nπ±(π/2)  n∈Z  or tanx=−1⇔x=mπ−(π/4)  m∈Z  Checking the solution x=0.5π  2sinπ−3(sin0.5π)−3cos0.5π+2=−1≠0  ∴x≠2nπ±0.5π   Define S_1  as solution set 1.  ∴ S_1 ={x∈R, m∈N∣ x=mπ−(π/4)}  (2) 2(sinx+cosx)−3=0  In harmonic form  sinx+cosx=(√2)sin(x+(π/4))  ∴2(√2)sin(x+(π/4))=3  sin(x+(π/4))=(3/(2(√2)))  But, (3/2)=1.5>(√2)=1.41...⇒(3/(2(√2)))>1.  Since ∣sinp∣≤1 ∀p∈R,⇒sin(x+(π/4))=(3/(2(√2)))  has no real solution.  The only set of real solutions is  S_1 ={x∈R∣ x=mπ−(π/4),m∈N}
