Giải phương trình $2{\sin ^2}2x + \sin 7x - 1 = \sin x$.

$\begin{array}{l}\,\,\,\,\,\,2{\sin ^2}2x + \sin 7x - 1 = \sin x\\ \Leftrightarrow \left( {2{{\sin }^2}2x - 1} \right) + \sin 7x - \sin x = 0\\ \Leftrightarrow  - \cos 4x + 2\cos 4x\sin 3x = 0\\ \Leftrightarrow \cos 4x\left( {2\sin 3x - 1} \right) = 0\\ \Leftrightarrow \left[ \begin{array}{l}\cos 4x = 0\\\sin 3x = \dfrac{1}{2}\end{array} \right.\\ \Leftrightarrow \left[ \begin{array}{l}4x = \dfrac{\pi }{2} + k\pi \\3x = \dfrac{\pi }{6} + k2\pi \\3x = \dfrac{{5\pi }}{6} + k2\pi \end{array} \right. \Leftrightarrow \left[ \begin{array}{l}x = \dfrac{\pi }{8} + \dfrac{{k\pi }}{4}\\x = \dfrac{\pi }{{18}} + \dfrac{{k2\pi }}{3}\\x = \dfrac{{5\pi }}{{18}} + \dfrac{{k2\pi }}{3}\end{array} \right.\end{array}$

Vậy nghiệm của phương trình là: $x = \dfrac{\pi }{8} + \dfrac{{k\pi }}{4}$, $x = \dfrac{\pi }{{18}} + \dfrac{{k2\pi }}{3}$, $x = \dfrac{{5\pi }}{{18}} + \dfrac{{k2\pi }}{3}$.
