Answer:

False

Explanation:

The given equation is:


2sin^2x-sinx-1

Substituting x=
(3\pi)/(2) in the above given equation, we have

=
2sin((3\pi)/(2))^2-sin((3\pi)/(2))-1

=
2(-1)^2-(-1)-1

=
2+1-1

=
2

Thus, the value of the given equation by substituting the value of x is equal to 2 and not zero, therefore the given statement is false.
