Homework Statement



csc^-1((2sqrt3)/3)

Homework Equations



csc^-1((2sqrt3)/3) = sin^-1(3/(2sqrt3))

The Attempt at a Solution



My Math Lab says I am supposed to use the equivalent sine function, so then I got sin^-1(3/2sqrt3). Then what do I do?

Use enough parentheses for this to be correct.

csc^-1(2sqrt3/3) = sin^-1(3/(2sqrt3))

Then rationalize the denominator so you can recognize a well-known value of the sine.

[itex]\displaystyle \frac{3}{2\sqrt{3}}=?[/itex]
 
Haha, duh! Thanks.
