csc((17pi)/3)

Solution

csc (\frac{17 π}{3})

Solution

- \frac{2 3}{3}

Decimal

- 1.15470 \dots

Solution steps

csc (\frac{17 π}{3})

csc (\frac{17 π}{3}) = csc (\frac{5 π}{3})

csc (\frac{17 π}{3})

Rewrite

\frac{17 π}{3}

2 π \cdot 2 + \frac{5 π}{3}

= csc (2 π 2 + \frac{5 π}{3})

Apply the periodicity of

csc

csc (x + 2 π \cdot k) = csc (x)

csc (2 π \cdot 2 + \frac{5 π}{3}) = csc (\frac{5 π}{3})

= csc (\frac{5 π}{3})

= csc (\frac{5 π}{3})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{1}{sin ( \frac{5 π}{3} )}

csc (\frac{5 π}{3})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{1}{sin ( \frac{5 π}{3} )}

= \frac{1}{sin ( \frac{5 π}{3} )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (\frac{5 π}{3}) = - \frac{3}{2}

sin (\frac{5 π}{3})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (π) cos (\frac{2 π}{3}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{2 π}{3})

sin (\frac{5 π}{3})

Write

sin (\frac{5 π}{3})

sin (π + \frac{2 π}{3})

= sin (π + \frac{2 π}{3})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (π) cos (\frac{2 π}{3}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{2 π}{3})

= sin (π) cos (\frac{2 π}{3}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{2 π}{3})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (π) = 0

\frac{1}{- \frac{3}{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

\frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{2}{3}

= - \frac{2}{3}

Rationalize

- \frac{2}{3} : - \frac{2 3}{3}
