    2 sin x + 1 = 0

    2 sin x = -1

    sin x = -0.5

    Now arcsin (0.5) = pi/6

    Since sin x is negative, the angle x is in the third or fourth quadrant, for one complete revolution.

    That is, x = pi + pi/6 = 7pi/6

    Or x = 2pi - pi/6 = 11pi/6

    For all revolutions, all of the solutions are given by adding 2n pi, since 2pi is one complete revolution.

    So answer is C.

    2sin(x) + 1 = 0

    2sin(x) = -1

    sin(x) = -½

    x = 1.5πk ± π/3, where k is an integer
