Answer

$\theta=4.26+2k\pi$ and $\theta=5.16+2k\pi$ Six example solutions for $k=0,\pm1$: $-2.02, -1.12, 4.26, 5.16, 10.54, 11.44$

Work Step by Step

Given $sin\theta=-0.9$, use a calculator, we can find two $\theta$ values in $[0,2\pi],$ as $\theta=4.26, 5.16$ and the general solutions are $\theta=4.26+2k\pi$ and $\theta=5.16+2k\pi$ where $k$ is any integer. Six example solutions for $k=0,\pm1$: $-2.02, -1.12, 4.26, 5.16, 10.54, 11.44$
