As explained below:

Explanation:

-330^@330

a) Without using calculator :
csc(-330) = (1/sin(-330)) = 1 / (sin(-360+30)) csc(330)=(1sin(330))=1sin(360+30)

As sin (-360) = sin(0), it is in the first quadrant where sine is positive.

=> 1/(sin(30) )= 21sin(30)=2

b) Using calculator,
Find the value of 1/sin(-330)1sin(330) using degree or

1/sin((-330*2pi)/360) = 1/sin(-(11pi)/6) = 21sin(3302π360)=1sin(11π6)=2 using radians
