csc(-120)

csc (- 12 0^{\circ})

- \frac{2 3}{3}

Decimal Notation

- 1.15470 \dots

Solution steps

csc (- 12 0^{\circ})

Use the following property:

csc (- x) = - csc (x)

csc (- 12 0^{\circ}) = - csc (12 0^{\circ})

= - csc (12 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

csc (12 0^{\circ}) = \frac{2 3}{3}

csc (12 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{1}{sin ( 12 0 ^{\circ} )}

csc (12 0^{\circ})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

csc (x) = \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

= \frac{1}{sin ( 12 0 ^{\circ} )}

= \frac{1}{sin ( 12 0 ^{\circ} )}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (12 0^{\circ}) = \frac{3}{2}

sin (12 0^{\circ})

sin (x)

= \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}} : \frac{2 3}{3}

\frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

= \frac{2}{3}

Rationalize

\frac{2}{3} : \frac{2 3}{3}

\frac{2}{3}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{3}{3}

= \frac{2 3}{3 3}

33 = 3

33

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

33 = 3

= 3

= \frac{2 3}{3}

= \frac{2 3}{3}

= \frac{2 3}{3}

= - \frac{2 3}{3}
