csc%5E%28-1%29%28-1%29 is a reference to an angle. Specifically, it is a reference to the only angle between -90 and 90 (or between -pi%2F2 and pi%2F2) inclusive whose csc ratio is -1. Hint: Since csc and sin are reciprocals of each other and since the reciprocal of -1 is also -1, this same angle has a sin of -1.

arccos%280%29 is also a reference to an angle. (It is another way to write cos%5E%28-1%29%280%29.) Specifically, it is a reference to the only angle between 0 and 180 (or between 0 and pi) inclusive whose cos ratio is 0.

If you haven't already figured out the answer, then it is time to look up your special angles (and start memorizing them).
