what is csc(-sqrt5) to 4 decimal places what is csc(-sqrt5) to 4 decimal places @Mathematics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

radians or degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess degree

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

csc(-sqrt(5)) = 1/sin(-sqrt(5)) = -25.629957 = -25.6300 this is assuming degrees

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm getting a negative answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesnt specify radians or degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if its degress jim is right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

wolfram alpha should give the same answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about radians

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

answer in radians is -1.2711

OpenStudy (anonymous):

radian would be -1.2711

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

seems like you keep losing the negatives foolformath lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u set it up for radians

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha they are negative

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

type in the same thing, but switch to radian mode

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just multiply ur degree answer by (pi/180)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guys, can your also help me out with these three...cos (2pi/7), sin (319 degrees), tan (pi/8)...all to 4 decimals

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

graph calc, but mathematica should spit the same thing out

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the argument is negative, that's why it's wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

cos(2pi/7) = 0.6235 sin(319) = -0.6561 tan(pi/8) = 0.4142

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jim how did you set each one up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm...i figured

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I typed them all into a calculator (and changed between radian/degrees)
