1 . " x " cannot be positive .
2 . " Let graphs tell the story " .
This is a standard question which appears everywhere.... (almost)
sin x = 1 + x + x^2
Find the number of solutions....
PS: Am trying to give sometime here daily just by posting the QOD. A promise that I have often failed to deliver but lets see how long I can contribute in a decent way. My attempt here is to give something in IIT JEE syllabus which I find really interesting or very very important for IIT JEE syllabus.

21i think it has no sol.
because sinx=x(x+1/x+1)
for sinx to be zero either x is zero or (x+1/x+1) is zero...........
if x is zero sinx=x2+x+1
= 1
so x is zero is not the case..............
and for (x+1/x +1) to be zero x+1/x has to be =-1
but x+1/x never =-1
so it has no sol.
62arnab.. ur method is wrong because
u are trying to solve for sin x = x^2+x+1 =0
but that is not the question!
106Draw graphs in the region [-1,1]... Think about why u dont need to draw beyond this region
1Since sin x < 1,
1 + x + x2 < 1
=> x belongs to (-1,0)
But for -1<x<0 , sin x is negative ..
But minimum value of 1 + x + x2 is 3/4
Hence no solution???

I think graph tells the whole story. [3] Should be no solutions. [1]
Don't mind the rather hideous looking parabola!
