Question 5 • Mathematics III

What is the range of y is equal to cosecant of x ?

Answer
A
y is less than or equal to negative 1 or y is greater than or equal to 1
B
y is less than or equal to negative 1
C
negative 1 is less than or equal to y comma y is less than or equal to 1
D
y is greater than or equal to 1

Explanation

Since cosecant is the reciprocal of sine, y = 1/sin(x). Sine values are between −1 and 1, and sine cannot be 0 where cosecant is defined. Taking the reciprocal gives y ≤ −1 or y ≥ 1, so the range is the choice stating those two intervals.
