\[2 + \sqrt{3} \csc \theta = 0\]
isolate for csc theta
\[0 \le \theta < 360\]
\[csc \theta = \frac{ -2 }{ \sqrt{3} }\]
yeah, so do you know what the reciprocal of csc is?
sine function
So what do I do next?
So in order to get sin, it's 1/csc right? Get the reciprocal of the other side as well
\[\frac{ 1 }{ \sin } \theta = - \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ 2 }\]
it'd be just sin theta, though. Do you know how to use the unit circle/CAST rule to solve it afterwards?
No
@okdutchman7 you should have this as part of your steps \[\Large \csc(\theta) = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\] \[\Large \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)} = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\] \[\Large \frac{\sin(\theta)}{1} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\] \[\Large \sin(\theta) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]
okay so i flipped it too early.
Thank You! the answer is 240 and 300.
`the answer is 240 and 300. ` yes those are the two solutions for theta where 0 <= theta < 360
