Answer:

2.21

0.93

Explanation:

Given that;
-4\sin^2\theta-3\sin \theta+5=0

This is a quadratic equation is
\sin \theta, where
a=-4,b=-3,c=5

We want to solve for
\theta in radians, where 0≤θ<2π.

We apply the quadratic formula given by;


\sin \theta=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac) )/(2a)

We substitute the given values to obtain;


\sin \theta=(--3\pm√((-3)^2-4(-4)(5)))/(2(-4))

Simplify;


\sin \theta=(3\pm√(9+80))/(-8)


\sin \theta=(3\pm√(89))/(-8)


\sin \theta=0.804 or
\sin \theta=-1.55

When
\sin \theta=0.804 ,
\theta=\sin^(-1)(0.804)


\Rightarrow \theta=0.93 --In the first quadrant.

In the second quadrant;


\theta=\pi-0.93=2.21

When
\sin \theta=-1.55 ,
\theta is not defined.

Answer: 0.93 radians & 2.21 radians

Explanation:


-4sin^2\theta-3sin\theta+5=0\\\\\text{Since this is not factorable, use the quadratic formula to find the roots:}\\\\sin\theta=(-(-3)\pm √((-3)^2-4(-4)(5)))/(2(-4))\\\\\\.\quad=(3\pm √(9+80))/(-8)\\\\\\.\quad=(3\pm√(89))/(-8)\\\\\\.\quad=(3\pm9.43)/(-8)\\\\\\.\quad=(12.43)/(-8)\quad and\quad (-6.43)/(-8)\\\\\\.\quad=-1.55\quad and\quad 0.80\\\\\\\theta=sin^(-1)(-1.55)\quad and\quad \theta=sin^(-1)(0.80)


\theta=not\ valid\qquad and\quad \theta=0.927


\theta = 0.927\ radians\text{\ in the 1st quadrant and}\\\pi-0.927=2.21\ radians\text{\ in the 2nd quadrant}
