Answer

$\frac{4\pi}{9}, \frac{8\pi}{9},\frac{16\pi}{9}$

Work Step by Step

$sec(\frac{3\theta}{2})=-2$, $cos(\frac{3\theta}{2})=-\frac{1}{2}$, $\frac{3\theta}{2}=2k\pi+\frac{2\pi}{3}$ or $2k\pi+\frac{4\pi}{3}$ $\theta=\frac{4k\pi}{3}+\frac{4\pi}{9}$ or $\frac{4k\pi}{3}+\frac{8\pi}{9}$ (k is an integer), $\theta=\frac{4\pi}{9}, \frac{8\pi}{9},\frac{16\pi}{9}$ in $[0,2\pi)$.
