1. Solve the rational inequality from the previous part to obtain the required solution intervals.
\n\n\n\n\nFrom a sign test on the critical values , , and , the valid intervals are or .
2. Manipulate the given trigonometric inequality to match the form of the solved rational inequality.
\nSubstitute :\n\nMultiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction by :\n\nThis perfectly matches the inequality in the first part with .
3. Substitute $x = \sin\theta$ into the solution intervals and deduce the exact values for $\theta$.
Substituting into the solution intervals gives:\n\nFor , since the maximum possible value of is , we must have exactly .\nFor the domain , this yields .\n\nFor , the basic (reference) angle is .\nSince is negative, must lie in the 3rd or 4th quadrant:\n\n
