Find the Exact Value csc(65)
Problem
Solution
Identify the function and the angle. The task is to find the exact value of the cosecant of
65^∘ Relate the cosecant function to the sine function using the reciprocal identity.
Express the angle
65^∘ as a sum or difference of standard angles if possible. Since65^∘ is not a standard angle (like30^∘,45^∘,60^∘ or a simple combination of them that results in a standard radical form, the exact value is typically represented in terms of sine or cosine.Determine if a radical form exists. While
65^∘ can be written as45^∘+20^∘ or90^∘−25^∘ these do not lead to a standard algebraic constant involving simple square roots.Conclude that without further context or specific identities for
5^∘ increments, the exact value is the reciprocal of the sine of the angle.
