Theorem
- $\csc 270 \degrees = \csc \dfrac {3 \pi} 2 = -1$
where $\csc$ denotes cosecant.
Proof
\(\ds \csc 270 \degrees\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map \csc {360 \degrees - 90 \degrees}\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\csc 90 \degrees\) | Cosecant of Conjugate Angle | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds -1\) | Cosecant of Right Angle |
$\blacksquare$
