To solve the equation cos⁡(2θ+120∘)=32\cos(2\theta + 120^\circ) = \frac{3}{2} for 0<θ<360∘0 < \theta < 360^\circ:

  1. Analyze the range of the cosine function.

    The cosine function, cos⁡(x)\cos(x), has a range of values between -1 and 1, inclusive. This means that for any real angle xx, we must have:

    −1≤cos⁡(x)≤1-1 \le \cos(x) \le 1
  2. Compare the given value with the range.

    The equation given is cos⁡(2θ+120∘)=32\cos(2\theta + 120^\circ) = \frac{3}{2}.
    The value 32\frac{3}{2} is equal to 1.5.

  3. Determine if a solution exists.

    Since 1.5>11.5 > 1, the value 32\frac{3}{2} falls outside the possible range of the cosine function.
    Therefore, there is no real angle xx for which cos⁡(x)=1.5\cos(x) = 1.5.

    Conclusion:
    There are no solutions for θ\theta that satisfy the given equation.

    The final answer is No solution\text{No solution}.
