Find the exact value of x in the interval 0 <_ x<_ 360 that make each equation true.
sqaur. rt. 3-sinx=sinx+ sq. rt. 12
-----
sqrt(3) - sin(x) = sin(x) + sqrt(12)
2sin(x) = sqrt(3)-sqrt(12)
2sin(x) = sqrt(3) - 2sqrt(3)
2sin(x) = -sqrt(3)
------
sin(x) = -sqrt(3)/2
------------------------
Reference angle is 60 degrees
----
x = arcsin(-sqrt(3)/2) = 240 deg in QIII
x = arcsin(-sqrt(3)/2) = 300 deg in QIV
