## Problem 16

### Given \(0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi\), solve:

\[ 
2\sin^2{\theta} - 3\sin{\theta} + 1 = 0 
\]

### Solution:

To solve this trigonometric equation, follow these steps:

1. **Recognize the Quadratic Form:**
   The equation \(2\sin^2{\theta} - 3\sin{\theta} + 1 = 0\) can be treated as a quadratic equation in terms of \(\sin{\theta}\). Let \(x = \sin{\theta}\).

   So the equation becomes: 
   \[ 
   2x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0 
   \]

2. **Solve the Quadratic Equation:**
   To solve for \(x\), use the quadratic formula \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\), where \(a = 2\), \(b = -3\), and \(c = 1\).

   \[
   x = \frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1}}{2 \cdot 2}
   \]

   \[
   x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 - 8}}{4}
   \]

   \[
   x = \frac{3 \pm 1}{4}
   \]

   This gives us two solutions:

   \[
   x = \frac{3 + 1}{4} = 1
   \]

   \[
   x = \frac{3 - 1}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
   \]

   So, \( \sin{\theta} = 1 \) or \( \sin{\theta} = \frac{1}{2} \).

3. **Determine the Angles \(\theta\):**
   From \( \sin{\theta} = 1 \):
   \[
   \theta = \frac{\pi}{2}
   \]
   
   From \( \sin{\theta} = \frac{1}{2} \):
   \[
   \theta = \frac{\pi}{6}
   \]
   and 
   \[
