-csc^2(-pi/4)

- csc^{2} (- \frac{π}{4})

- 2

Solution steps

- csc^{2} (- \frac{π}{4})

Rewrite using trig identities:

csc (- \frac{π}{4}) = - 2

csc (- \frac{π}{4})

Use the following property:

csc (- x) = - csc (x)

csc (- \frac{π}{4}) = - csc (\frac{π}{4})

= - csc (\frac{π}{4})

Use the following trivial identity:

csc (\frac{π}{4}) = 2

csc (\frac{π}{4})

csc (x)

periodicity table with

= 2

= - 2

= - (- 2)^{2}

Simplify

- (- 2)^{2} : - 2

- (- 2)^{2}

Simplify

(- 2)^{2} : 2

(- 2)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 2)^{2} = (2)^{2}

= (2)^{2}

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (2^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 2^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 = 1

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 2

= - 2

= - 2
