Answer:

- [tex]\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the identity and the exact value

csc x = [tex]\frac{1}{sinx}[/tex]  and sin60° = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]

- 120° is in the third quadrant where sin < 0 , then

csc - 120° = - sin60° , then

csc - 120°

= [tex]\frac{1}{-sin60}[/tex]

= - [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} }[/tex]

= - [tex]\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }[/tex] ( rationalise the denominator )

= - [tex]\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }[/tex] × [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{3} }[/tex]

= - [tex]\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}[/tex]
