You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve the equation
for interval:[0,2π]
-3 cos squared theta + sin theta = -3
-3cos^2x+sinx=-3
-3(1-sin^2x)+sinx=-3
-3+3sin^2x+sinx=-3
3sin^2x+sinx=0
sinx(3sinx+1)=0
sinx=0
x=0,π
or
(3sinx+1=0
3sinx=-1
sinx=-1/3
x=3.48, 5.94 (in quadrants III and IV where sin<0)
