Solve the equation for exact solution over the interval [0,360)
tan Θ csc Θ - √3 csc Θ = 0
------------
(sin/cos)(1/sin) - sqrt(3)*(1/sin) = 0
----
1/cos - (sqrt(3))/(sin)
----
(sin/cos) = sqrt(3)
tan(theta) = sqrt(3)
theta = (2/3)pi in QI
theta = (5/3)pi in QIII

So



is equivalent to



Add



to both sides:



Cross multiply:



Square both sides



Use the Pythagorean identity







From which we get, using the unit circle, that



Which then implies that

But if sine and cosine are opposite signs, the original equation fails. Hence, the solution set is confined to Quadrants I and III where the signs of sine and cosine are the same. And the solution set is therefore:
