let t=sin x  −1≤t≤1  t^3 −3pt+p^3 +1=0  Δ=−p^3 +(((p^3 +1)/2))^2 =(((p^3 −1)/2))^2 ≥0  for p^3 >1, i.e. p>1:  t=((((p^3 −1)/2)−((p^3 +1)/2)))^(1/3) −((((p^3 −1)/2)+((p^3 +1)/2)))^(1/3)   t=−1−p  −1≤−1−p≤1  −2≤p≤0  ≠ p>1  for p^3 <1, i.e. p<1:  t=((((1−p^3 )/2)−((p^3 +1)/2)))^(1/3) −((((1−p^3 )/2)+((p^3 +1)/2)))^(1/3)   t=−p−1  −1≤−p−1≤1  −2≤p≤0 ✓  for p^3 =1, i.e. p=1:  t^3 −3t+2=0  t^3 −t^2 +t^2 −t−2t+2=0  (t−1)^2 (t+2)=0  ⇒t=1 ✓, t=−2    summary:  −2≤p≤0 or p=1  for p>0 there is only one value p=1.
