Find All Complex Solutions csc(theta)-1=0

$\csc (θ) - 1 = 0$

Step 1

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$\csc (θ) = 1$

Step 2

Take the inverse cosecant of both sides of the equation to extract $θ$ from inside the cosecant.

$θ = arccsc (1)$

Step 3

Simplify the right side.

The exact value of $arccsc (1)$ is $\frac{π}{2}$ .

$θ = \frac{π}{2}$

Step 4

The cosecant function is positive in the first and second quadrants. To find the second solution, subtract the reference angle from $π$ to find the solution in the second quadrant.

$θ = π - \frac{π}{2}$

Step 5

Simplify $π - \frac{π}{2}$ .

To write $π$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$θ = π \cdot \frac{2}{2} - \frac{π}{2}$

Combine fractions.

Combine $π$ and $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$θ = \frac{π \cdot 2}{2} - \frac{π}{2}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$θ = \frac{π \cdot 2 - π}{2}$

Simplify the numerator.

Move $2$ to the left of $π$ .

$θ = \frac{2 \cdot π - π}{2}$

Subtract $π$ from $2 π$ .

$θ = \frac{π}{2}$

Step 6

Find the period of $\csc (θ)$ .

The period of the function can be calculated using $\frac{2 π}{| b |}$ .

$\frac{2 π}{| b |}$

Replace $b$ with $1$ in the formula for period.

$\frac{2 π}{| 1 |}$

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $1$ is $1$ .

$\frac{2 π}{1}$

Divide $2 π$ by $1$ .

$2 π$

Step 7

The period of the $\csc (θ)$ function is $2 π$ so values will repeat every $2 π$ radians in both directions.

$θ = \frac{π}{2} + 2 π n$ , for any integer $n$
