How do you find two solutions (in degree and radians) for $csc x = 2$ $csc x= 2$ ?

1 Answer

Oct 3, 2015

$x = \frac{π}{6} = (30^{\circ})$ $x= pi/6 =(30^@)$ or $\frac{5 π}{6} (= 150^{\circ})$ $(5pi)/6 (=150^@)$
$XXXXXXXXXXXX$ $color(white)("XXXXXXXXXXXX")$ (for $x \in [0, 2 π)$ $x in [0,2pi)$ )

Explanation:

$csc = \frac{1}{sin} = \frac{hypotenuse}{y}$ $csc = 1/(sin) = ("hypotenuse")/("y")$
