Simplify arccsc((-2 square root of 3)/3)

Problem

arccsc(−(2√(,3))/3)

Solution

1. Rewrite the argument to a more recognizable form by rationalizing the denominator or simplifying the fraction.

(2√(,3))/3=(2√(,3))/(√(,3)√(,3))=2/√(,3)

2. Relate the cosecant function to the sine function using the identity arccsc(x)=arcsin(1/x)

arccsc(−2/√(,3))=arcsin(−√(,3)/2)

3. Identify the angle within the restricted range of the inverse sine function, which is [−π/2,π/2]

sin(−π/3)=−√(,3)/2

4. Determine the final value based on the unit circle or known trigonometric values.

arcsin(−√(,3)/2)=−π/3

Final Answer

arccsc(−(2√(,3))/3)=−π/3
