You must have mixed part of a question with something else.
\n" ); document.write( "Or else this is a trick question.
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2F2\" is \"180%5Eo\" in degrees, and
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%28pi%2F2%29=0\" , \"cos%28pi%2F2%29=-1\" , and \"tan%28pi%2F2%29=0\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "regardless of the value \"x\", or \"csc%28x%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "On the other hand, \"csc%28x%29=1%2Fsin%28x%29\" , so
\n" ); document.write( "if \"csc%28x%29=1%2Fsin%28x%29=6\" , then \"sin%28x%29=1%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "and since \"%28sin%28x%29%29%5E2%2B%28cos%28x%29%29%5E2=1\", then
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28cos%28x%29%29%5E2=1-%281%2F6%29%5E2=1-1%2F36=35%2F36\"
\n" ); document.write( "And if we also know that \"90%5Eo%3Cx%3C180%5Eo\", we know that \"cos%28x%29%3C0\"
\n" ); document.write( "so that would mean \"cos%28x%29=-sqrt%2835%2F36%29=-sqrt%2835%29%2Fsqrt%2836%29=-sqrt%2835%29%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then as \"tan%28x%29=sin%28x%29%2Fcos%28x%29\" , we would have
