Math Problem Statement

1/cosec²∅

Solution

The expression 1csc2θ\frac{1}{\csc^2 \theta} can be simplified using trigonometric identities.

The cosecant function is defined as the reciprocal of the sine function: cscθ=1sinθ\csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta}

Therefore, csc2θ=(1sinθ)2=1sin2θ\csc^2 \theta = \left( \frac{1}{\sin \theta} \right)^2 = \frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta}

Now, substituting this into the given expression: 1csc2θ=11sin2θ=sin2θ\frac{1}{\csc^2 \theta} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta}} = \sin^2 \theta

So, the simplified form of 1csc2θ\frac{1}{\csc^2 \theta} is: sin2θ\boxed{\sin^2 \theta}
