Solve 8cos^2(x)-6sin(x)-9 = 0 for all solutions 0 <= x < 2pi
***
8cos^2(x)-6sin(x)-9 = 0
8(1-sin^2(x))-6sin(x)-9=0
8-8sin^2(x)-6sin(x)-9=0
8sin^2(x)+6sin(x)+1=0
solve for sin(x) using quadratic formula:

a=8, b=6, c=1
ans:
x=-0.5
sin(x)=-0.5
x=7π/6,11π/6(in quadrants III and IV where sin<0)
or
x=-0.25
sin(x)=-0.25
x≈3.3942,6.0305(in quadrants III and IV where sin<0)
