Answer

Finally, divide the solutions by 2 to solve for \(\theta\). The solution set is \(\boxed{330}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given the equation \(2 \sqrt{3} \sin 2 \theta=-3\).

Step 2 :Isolate \(\sin 2 \theta\) on one side of the equation to get \(\sin 2 \theta = -0.8660254037844387\).

Step 3 :Use the arcsin function to solve for \(2 \theta\). The solution for \(2 \theta\) is \(-30^{\circ}\).

Step 4 :Since the range of the arcsin function is \([-\pi/2, \pi/2]\) (or \([-90^{\circ}, 90^{\circ}]\) in degrees), we need to consider additional solutions in the interval \([0^{\circ}, 360^{\circ})\) by adding or subtracting \(360^{\circ}\) to the solutions.

Step 5 :Add \(360^{\circ}\) to the solution \(-30^{\circ}\) to bring it into the desired interval. The solution for \(2 \theta\) is now \(330^{\circ}\).

Step 6 :Finally, divide the solutions by 2 to solve for \(\theta\). The solution set is \(\boxed{330}\).
