Simplify csc((3pi)/4)

Problem

csc((3*π)/4)

Solution

1. Identify the relationship between the cosecant function and the sine function using the reciprocal identity.

csc(θ)=1/sin(θ)

2. Substitute the given angle into the identity.

csc((3*π)/4)=1/sin((3*π)/4)

3. Determine the value of the sine function at the angle (3*π)/4 which is in the second quadrant where sine is positive.

sin((3*π)/4)=√(,2)/2

4. Calculate the reciprocal of the sine value.

csc((3*π)/4)=1/√(,2)/2

5. Simplify the fraction by multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator.

csc((3*π)/4)=2/√(,2)

6. Rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by √(,2)

csc((3*π)/4)=√(,2)

Final Answer

csc((3*π)/4)=√(,2)
