Answer

$\theta=\{45^o,135^o,225^o,315^o\}$

Work Step by Step

$4sin(\theta)-2csc(\theta)=0$ $4sin(\theta)-2\frac{1}{sin(\theta)}=0\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ multipl each side by $sin(\theta)$. $4sin^2(\theta)-2=0$ $4sin^2(\Theta )=2\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ subtract $ -2 $ from each side. $sin^2(\Theta )=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ divide each side by $4$ $sin(\Theta )=\pm \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}$ $sin(\Theta )=\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ $\theta= sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$ We know $ sin(\theta) $ is positive in quadrant $I$ and quadrant $II$ $\theta=45^o\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\theta=180^o-45^o=135^o$ $\theta=45^o\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\theta=135^o$ $\theta= sin^{-1}(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}})$ We know $ sin(\theta) $ is negative in quadrant $3$ and quadrant $4$ $\theta=180^o+45^o=225^o\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\theta=360^o-45^o=315^o$ $\theta=225^o\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\theta=315^o$ $\theta=\{45^o,135^o,225^o,315^o\}$
