Find the Exact Value csc((-pi)/3)

$\csc (\frac{- π}{3})$

Step 1

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$\csc (- \frac{π}{3})$

Step 2

Add full rotations of $2 π$ until the angle is greater than or equal to $0$ and less than $2 π$ .

$\csc (\frac{5 π}{3})$

Step 3

Apply the reference angle by finding the angle with equivalent trig values in the first quadrant. Make the expression negative because cosecant is negative in the fourth quadrant.

$- \csc (\frac{π}{3})$

Step 4

The exact value of $\csc (\frac{π}{3})$ is $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ .

$- \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

Step 5

Multiply $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$ .

$- (\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}})$

Step 6

Combine and simplify the denominator.

Multiply $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$ .

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{3}}$

Raise $\sqrt{3}$ to the power of $1$ .

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{1} \sqrt{3}}$

Raise $\sqrt{3}$ to the power of $1$ .

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{1} {\sqrt{3}}^{1}}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{1 + 1}}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{2}}$

Rewrite ${\sqrt{3}}^{2}$ as $3$ .

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{3}$ as $3^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{{(3^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}}$

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}}$

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{3^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{3^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{3^{1}}$

Evaluate the exponent.

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{3}$

Step 7

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$- \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{3}$

Decimal Form:

$- 1.15470053 \dots$
