If cosA= 0 and sun B = √2/2, where A,B [0, pi/2] , the value of cscB -cot A can be written as √m in simplified form. What is the value of m?

Hi hsedward

You sure you wrote the question correctly?

cosθ = 0

gives a θ value of pi/2

therefore, for cosA= 0, A = pi/2 (which is in the correct range of 0 to pi/2)

The problem, however, is when we put pi/2 in for cotangent, we get an error. Try it yourself, 1/tan(pi/2) gives an error.

I might be doing it wrong, but I'll decide that once you provide more insight

oh no yes i forgot to put the e sign like this € there’s supposed to be € after A,B so it should look like the where A,B € [0,pi/2]

Hi hsedward

Still not sure, if angle A is pi/2, tan at pi/2 doesn't exist Frowning Face
