The value of cosec−1(−2)−2sec⁡−1(−2)\text{cosec}^{-1}(-2) - 2\sec^{-1}(-2) is equal to:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

csc⁡−1(−2)=−π/6\csc^{-1}(-2) = -\pi/6 since csc⁡(−π/6)=−2\csc(-\pi/6) = -2 and −π/6-\pi/6 is in principal range. sec⁡−1(−2)=2π/3\sec^{-1}(-2) = 2\pi/3 since sec⁡(2π/3)=−2\sec(2\pi/3) = -2. So expression =−π/6−2(2π/3)=−π/6−4π/3=−9π/6=−3π/2= -\pi/6 - 2(2\pi/3) = -\pi/6 - 4\pi/3 = -9\pi/6 = -3\pi/2.
