Question
For the following exercises, use identities to evaluate the expression.If $\cot (t) \approx 0.58, \quad$ and $\cos (t) \approx 0.5, \quad$ find $\csc (t)$
Step 1
This is because $\cot(t)$ is the reciprocal of $\tan(t)$, and $\tan(t)$ is $\frac{\sin(t)}{\cos(t)}$. So, $\cot(t)$ is $\frac{\cos(t)}{\sin(t)}$, and rearranging gives us $\sin(t) = \frac{\cos(t)}{\cot(t)}$. Show more…
