csc(-(17pi)/6)

csc (- \frac{17 π}{6})

- 2

Solution steps

csc (- \frac{17 π}{6})

Use the following property:

csc (- x) = - csc (x)

csc (- \frac{17 π}{6}) = - csc (\frac{17 π}{6})

= - csc (\frac{17 π}{6})

csc (\frac{17 π}{6}) = csc (\frac{5 π}{6})

csc (\frac{17 π}{6})

Rewrite

\frac{17 π}{6}

2 π + \frac{5 π}{6}

= csc (2 π + \frac{5 π}{6})

Apply the periodicity of

csc

csc (x + 2 π) = csc (x)

csc (2 π + \frac{5 π}{6}) = csc (\frac{5 π}{6})

= csc (\frac{5 π}{6})

= - csc (\frac{5 π}{6})

Rewrite using trig identities:

csc (\frac{5 π}{6}) = 2

csc (\frac{5 π}{6})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{1}{sin ( \frac{5 π}{6} )}

csc (\frac{5 π}{6})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

csc (x) = \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

= \frac{1}{sin ( \frac{5 π}{6} )}

= \frac{1}{sin ( \frac{5 π}{6} )}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{5 π}{6}) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (\frac{5 π}{6})

sin (x)
