3sin2(θ) + 3sinθ) - 6 = -4sin(θ)
3sin2(θ) + 3sinθ) + 4sin(θ) - 6 = 0
3sin2(θ) + 7sinθ) - 6 = 0
Let x = sin(θ) then 3sin2(θ) + 7sinθ) - 6 = 0 becomes:
3x2 + 7x - 6 = 0
(x + 3)(3x - 2) = 0
x = -3
x = 2/3
Back substitute x = sin(θ) to get sin(θ) = -3 and sin(θ) = 2/3
sin(θ) is always between -1 and 1 so there are no values of θ for sin(θ) to be -3 so we can throw that out.
For sin(θ) = 2/3, θ = sin-1(2/3). Using a calculator, we see that θ = 41.8°. But there is a quadrant 2 angle that also complies. It would be 180 - 41.8° so 138.2°
So θ = 41.8° and 138.2°
