Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Isolate the sin⁡θ\sin \theta term.

    The given equation is:

    4−9sin⁡θ=04 - 9 \sin \theta = 0

    Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:

    −9sin⁡θ=−4-9 \sin \theta = -4
  2. Solve for sin⁡θ\sin \theta.

    Divide both sides by -9:

    sin⁡θ=−4−9\sin \theta = \frac{-4}{-9} sin⁡θ=49\sin \theta = \frac{4}{9}
  3. Find the general solution for θ\theta.

    To find θ\theta, we take the inverse sine of 49\frac{4}{9}. Let α=arcsin⁡(49)\alpha = \arcsin\left(\frac{4}{9}\right).
    The general solutions for sin⁡θ=k\sin \theta = k are given by:

    θ=n⋅2π+α\theta = n \cdot 2\pi + \alpha

    or

    θ=n⋅2π+(π−α)\theta = n \cdot 2\pi + (\pi - \alpha)

    where nn is an integer.

    Substituting α=arcsin⁡(49)\alpha = \arcsin\left(\frac{4}{9}\right):

    θ=n⋅2π+arcsin⁡(49)\theta = n \cdot 2\pi + \arcsin\left(\frac{4}{9}\right)

    or

    θ=n⋅2π+π−arcsin⁡(49)\theta = n \cdot 2\pi + \pi - \arcsin\left(\frac{4}{9}\right)

    The solution can be written as:

    θ=2nπ+arcsin⁡(49)orθ=(2n+1)π−arcsin⁡(49),where n∈Z\boxed{\theta = 2n\pi + \arcsin\left(\frac{4}{9}\right) \quad \text{or} \quad \theta = (2n+1)\pi - \arcsin\left(\frac{4}{9}\right), \quad \text{where } n \in \mathbb{Z}}
