Which of these is the general solution for 3secθ=2 ? Is it 5π6+2πn or is it 7π6+2πn? I'm so confused, is it 5π6+2πn because it is less?

3sec(θ)=231cos(θ)=2cos(θ)=32θ=π180(arccos32)+2πnθ=π180(150)+2πnθ=5π6+2πn

Multiply the DEG-result of  arccos32 by π180(=1) to express it as a fraction. To express the multiple result of arccos32  add 2πn.
