**Problem Statement:**

Find all exact solutions for \( 2 \cos^3 x + 3 \sin x = 0 \) on the interval \( (0, 2\pi) \). Do not use a calculator for your answers.

**Solution Explanation:**

To solve this trigonometric equation, we'll express it in terms of sine and cosine and solve algebraically within the given interval \( (0, 2\pi) \).

1. **Rearrange the Equation:**

   The equation given is:
   \[
   2 \cos^3 x + 3 \sin x = 0
   \]
   Isolate the trigonometric terms:
   \[
   2 \cos^3 x = -3 \sin x
   \]

2. **Apply Trigonometric Identities:**

   It may be useful to consider transformations such as:
   - \(\cos^2 x = 1 - \sin^2 x\)
   However, for this equation, further steps can simplify directly.

3. **Factor the Equation:**

   Set:
   \[
   f(x) = 2 \cos^3 x + 3 \sin x
   \]

4. **Solve for Roots:**

   Substitute potential exact angles where the trigonometric functions have known values, for example, the principal angles.

5. **Verify Solutions:**

   Check each solution to ensure it satisfies \( f(x) = 0 \) within the interval \( (0, 2\pi) \).

By following these steps, you can determine the values of \( x \) that satisfy the equation without the use of a calculator.
