Answer

$\frac{\pi}{3}+k\pi$, $\frac{2\pi}{3}+k\pi$

Work Step by Step

$4\sin^2\theta-3=0$ $4\sin^2\theta=3$ $\sin^2\theta=\frac{3}{4}$ $\sin\theta=\pm\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ If $\sin\theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, then $\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}+2k\pi$ or $\theta=\frac{2\pi}{3}+2k\pi$. If $\sin\theta=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, then $\theta=\frac{4\pi}{3}+2k\pi$ or $\theta=\frac{5\pi}{3}+2k\pi$. Combining the two cases, we get $\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}+k\pi$ or $\theta=\frac{2\pi}{3}+k\pi$.
