see explanation.
Explanation:
Substitute the solution, that is
#theta=pi# into the original equation and if it makes the equation true then it is a correct root of the equation.
#" Check that" 3sin^2theta-2sintheta=0" is true"#
#rArr3sin^2(pi)-2sin(pi)#
#"Now" sin(pi)=0#
#rArr3(0)^2-2(0)=0larr" satisfies equation"#
#"thus " theta=pi" is a correct root"#
