Answer

$\sin x=0$ or, $x=0, \pi, 2\pi,.....$

Work Step by Step

Given: $\sqrt {\sin^2 x+1}=\sqrt {\sin^2 x}+1$ The equation is not an identity. $\sqrt {\sin^2 x+1}=\sqrt {\sin^2 x}+1$ This gives: $\sin^2 x+1=(\sin x+1)^2$ $\implies 2 \sin x=0$ This implies that $\sin x=0$ Thus, $x=0, \pi, 2\pi,.....$
