Solve for θ csc(theta)=2

$\csc (θ) = 2$

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

$θ = arccsc (2)$

Simplify the right side.

The exact value of $arccsc (2)$ is $\frac{π}{6}$ .

$θ = \frac{π}{6}$

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.

$θ = π - \frac{π}{6}$

Simplify $π - \frac{π}{6}$ .

To write $π$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{6}{6}$ .

$θ = π \cdot \frac{6}{6} - \frac{π}{6}$

Combine fractions.

Combine $π$ and $\frac{6}{6}$ .

$θ = \frac{π \cdot 6}{6} - \frac{π}{6}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$θ = \frac{π \cdot 6 - π}{6}$

Simplify the numerator.

Move $6$ to the left of $π$ .

$θ = \frac{6 \cdot π - π}{6}$

Subtract $π$ from $6 π$ .

$θ = \frac{5 π}{6}$

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 $1$ .

$2 π$

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

$θ = \frac{π}{6} + 2 π n, \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 π n$ , for any integer $n$
