If \cos x \ge 0, then we have

\sin x + \cos x \ge \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x =1$

Hence\sin x + \cos x+\sqrt{\sin x} + \sin^2 x \ge 1$ and

equality occurs only when \sin x = 0 i.e. x = 2k\pi, k \in \mathbb{Z}

If \cos x<0 then \cos x =- \sqrt{1-\sin^2 x} and

the equation may be written as

\sqrt{\sin x} + \sin x = (1-\sin^2 x) + \sqrt{1-\sin^2 x}

The function f(x) = y+y^2 is monotonic when y>0

Hence, we must have \sin x = 1-\sin^2x which yields

\sin x = \frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{2}.

Since we have cos x<0, the solutions are all given by

x = \pi - \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{2}\right) + 2k\pi, k \in \mathbb{Z}

In this way all possible solutions have been obtained
