Q. Rotate the yellow dot to a location of 3 radians. After you rotate the angle, determine the value of csc3, to the nearest hundredth.
Understand relationship csc(θ)sin(θ): Understand the relationship between csc(θ) and sin(θ). The cosecant function, csc(θ), is the reciprocal of the sine function, sin(θ). This means that csc(θ)=sin(θ)1. To find csc(3), we first need to find the value of sin(3).
Calculate value sin(3): Calculate the value of sin(3). Since we are working with radians, we can directly evaluate sin(3). However, the sine function does not have a simple exact value for sin(3). We will need to use a calculator to find the approximate value of sin(3).
Find reciprocal sin(3)csc(3): Find the reciprocal of sin(3) to get csc(3). Once we have the value of sin(3), we can find csc(3) by taking the reciprocal of sin(3), as csc(3)=sin(3)1.
Use calculator find sin(3) calculate csc(3): Use a calculator to find sin(3) and then calculate csc(3). Using a calculator, we find that sin(3)≈0.1411 (rounded to four decimal places). Now, we take the reciprocal of this value to find csc(3). csc(3)=sin(3)1≈0.14111≈7.0869.
Round value csc(3): Round the value of csc(3) to the nearest hundredth.Rounding 7.0869 to the nearest hundredth gives us 7.09.
