Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. <em>Find a coterminal angle that falls be 0 and 2π. </em>
Remember that cscθ is a periodic function. It repeats every 2π radians.
If n is an integer, cscθ = csc(θ ± 2πn)
csc(17π/6) = csc(12π/6 + 5π/6)
= csc(2π + 5π/6)
= csc(5π/6)
Step 2. <em>Use the unit circle to evaluate cscθ. </em>
cscθ = 1/sinθ
Let θ = 5π/6
In a unit circle (below), the sine of an angle is y.
sinθ = ½
cscθ = 1/sinθ
= 1/(½)
= 2
