$${a}\mathrm{sin}\:{x}+\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{2sin}\:^{\mathrm{2}} {x}=\mathrm{2}{a}−\mathrm{7} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{sin}\:^{\mathrm{2}} {x}−\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{sin}\:{x}=\mathrm{4}−{a} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{sin}\:{x}−\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{16}}−{a}+\mathrm{4} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{sin}\:{x}−\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\left(\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{4}}−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$ $$\mid\mathrm{sin}\:{x}−\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{4}}\mid=\mid\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{4}}−\mathrm{2}\mid \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\:\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{4}}−\mathrm{2}=\pm\mid\mathrm{sin}\:{x}−\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{4}}\mid \\ $$ $${with}\:{the}\:−{ve}\:{sign},\:{above}\:{eqn}.\:\Rightarrow \\ $$ $${no}\:{value}\:{of}\:\boldsymbol{{a}}\:{to}\:{fulfill}\:{the}\:{condition}; \\ $$ $${with}\:{the}\:+{ve}\:{sign}\:{it}\:{implies} \\ $$ $$\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{2}+\mathrm{sin}\:{x} \\ $$ $${or}\:\:{a}=\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{2sin}\:{x} \\ $$ $${As}\:\:−\mathrm{1}\leqslant\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\leqslant\mathrm{1} \\ $$ $${we}\:{can}\:{conclude}\:{that} \\ $$ $$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{2}\leqslant\:\boldsymbol{{a}}\:\leqslant\:\mathrm{6}\:\:\:. \\ $$
