You can put this solution on YOUR website! WHAT IS THE EXACT VALUE OF THE FOLLOWING? 1) SIN 9PI/2
 2) COSECANT 7PI
 --------------
 This one is old, your need for it might have passed, but...
 1) sin(9*PI/2)
 2*PI is a complete revolution, so subtract that until the value is less than 2PI.
 sin(9PI/2) + sin([9PI/2 - 2PI -2PI]) = sin(PI/2)
 = 1.
 If it's easier to follow use degrees.
 9PI/2 = 9*180/2 deg = 810 degs
 810 - 360 = 450
 450 - 360 = 90
 sin(90) = 1
 -----------------
 csc(7PI)
 Again, subtract 2PI as many times as possible while remaining positive.
 csc(7PI) = csc(PI)
 csc(PI) = 1/[sin(PI)] = 1/0
 it's infinity, or undefined.
