As explained below:

$-330^@$

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

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

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

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

$1/sin((-330*2pi)/360) = 1/sin(-(11pi)/6) = 2$ using radians
