1. Problem Description

The problem is to simplify the expression sin2α+sinαcos2α\sin^2{\alpha} + \sin{\alpha}\cos^2{\alpha}.

2. Solution Steps

First, we can factor out sinα\sin{\alpha} from the expression:
sin2α+sinαcos2α=sinα(sinα+cos2α)\sin^2{\alpha} + \sin{\alpha}\cos^2{\alpha} = \sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha})
Since we know that sin2α+cos2α=1\sin^2{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha} = 1, we can write sinα=1cos2α\sin{\alpha} = 1 - \cos^2{\alpha}.
Now, substitute sinα=1cos2α\sin{\alpha} = 1 - \cos^2{\alpha} into the factored expression:
sinα(sinα+cos2α)=sinα(1cos2α+cos2α)=sinα(1)=sinα\sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha}) = \sin{\alpha}(1 - \cos^2{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha}) = \sin{\alpha}(1) = \sin{\alpha}
Alternatively, factor out sinα\sin{\alpha} to get:
sin2α+sinαcos2α=sinα(sinα+cos2α)\sin^2{\alpha} + \sin{\alpha}\cos^2{\alpha} = \sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha})
We know that sin2α+cos2α=1\sin^2{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha} = 1. Thus sinα=1cos2α\sin{\alpha} = 1 - \cos^2{\alpha}.
Then, we can write:
sinα(sinα+cos2α)=sinα(sinα+cos2α)=sinα(sinα+(1sin2α))=sinα(sinα+1sin2α)\sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha}) = \sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha}) = \sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + (1 - \sin^2{\alpha})) = \sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + 1 - \sin^2{\alpha})
Let's go back to sin2α+sinαcos2α\sin^2{\alpha} + \sin{\alpha}\cos^2{\alpha}. We can factor out sinα\sin{\alpha}.
sin2α+sinαcos2α=sinα(sinα+cos2α)\sin^2{\alpha} + \sin{\alpha}\cos^2{\alpha} = \sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha})
Then sinα(sinα+cos2α)=sinα(sinα+1sin2α)\sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha}) = \sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + 1 - \sin^2{\alpha}).
Let's rewrite the expression as sinα(sinα+cos2α)\sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha}).
We can also write this as sinα(sinα+cos2α)=sinα(sinα+1sin2α)\sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha}) = \sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + 1 - \sin^2{\alpha}).
Thus, sinα(sinα+cos2α)=sinα\sin{\alpha}(\sin{\alpha} + \cos^2{\alpha}) = \sin{\alpha}.

3. Final Answer

sinα\sin{\alpha}
