To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \(4\tan^2 \theta - 3\csc^2 \theta\) given that \(\cos \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) and \(\pi < \theta < \frac{3\pi}{2}\). ### Step 1: Identify the quadrant and values of trigonometric functions Since \(\theta\) is in the third quadrant (where \(\pi < \theta < \frac{3\pi}{2}\)), we know that: - \(\cos \theta\) is negative. - \(\sin \theta\) is also negative. Given \(\cos \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\), we can use the Pythagorean identity to find \(\sin \theta\). ...
