You have the following:
2cot2θ - 3cscθ = 0
Start by adding "3cscθ" to both sides:
2cot2θ = 3cscθ
Next, put the equation in terms of sine and cosine. This will make it easier to work with.
2cos2θ/sin2θ = 3/sinθ
Multiply both sides by sinθ to simplify:
2cos2θ/sinθ = 3
Multiply both sides by sinθ again, so the sinθ is on the other side:
2cos2θ = 3sinθ
Using the Pythagorean trigonometric identity (cos2θ + sin2θ = 1), we can put the equation entirely in terms of sine:
2(1 - sin2θ) = 3sinθ
2 - 2sin2θ = 3sinθ
Add 2sin2θ and subtract 2 from both sides, so the terms are all on one side:
0 = 2sin2θ + 3sinθ - 2
Notice how the equation looks similar to a quadratic equation. We can factor the equation just like a quadratic equation, so we get:
0 = (2sinθ - 1)(sinθ + 2)
If either piece is equal to zero, the entire equation is equal to zero. All we have to do is solve each part seperately for zero.
2sinθ - 1 = 0
2sinθ = 1
sinθ = 1/2
θ = pi/3 or 2pi/3
--
sinθ + 2 = 0
sinθ = -2
The second piece has no solution. The only two answers within the interval [0, 2pi] are pi/3 and 2pi/3.

What is wrong with the following statement tan 90 degrees equals 1 overcot 90 degrees?
Cot(90) = 0 so 1/cot(90), if defined, would be 1/0. Such a fraction is not defined and that is what is wrong with the sentence.
How do you solve 16t squared minus 9 equals 0?
Solve this problem -x squared -40x- 80 =0
Solve a2 plus 30a plus 56 equals 0?
a2+30a+56=0 , solve for a Using the quadratic formula, you will find that: a=-2 , a=-28
How do you solve q squared plus 16q equals 0?
By factoring. q2 + 16q = 0 q (q + 16) = 0 Now, either q = 0, or q + 16 = 0. Solve those two equations to get the solution.
Solve 9x2 - 9x equals 0?
9x2-9x = 0 x2-x = 0 x(x-1) = 0 x = 1 or x = 0
How do you make 'cot' and 'csc' on a TI-84 graphing calculator?
From math class, some trigonometric identities: cot x = 1/tan x csc x = 1/sin x sec x = 1/cos x There are no built-in cot or csc formulas, so use the above. Remember that these give errors when tan x, sin x, or cos x are equal to 0.
What are the 6 trig functions for a -180 degree angle?

How do you solve y-2y'-3y equals 0?
For y - 2y - 3y equals 0, y equals 0.
What is the exact trigonometric function value of cot 0?
There is no value cot 0, because cot 0 is equivalent to 1 / tan 0, which is equivalent to 1 / 0, which is undefined. That said, the limit of cot x as x approaches 0 is infinity.
What is wrong with the following statement tan 90 degrees equals 1 overcot 90 degrees?
Cot(90) = 0 so 1/cot(90), if defined, would be 1/0. Such a fraction is not defined and that is what is wrong with the sentence.

How do you solve x equals 0 inequality?
"x equals 0" is an equality, not an inequality. The question is, therefore, not consistent.
How do you solve x³-4x equals 0 algebraically?
Suppose x3-4x = 0. To solve, factor: x3-4x = x(x2-4) = x(x+2)(x-2) = 0 Now, a product equals 0 if and only one or more of the factors equals 0, so set each factor to 0 and solve. The roots are 0,-2 and +2.
