Solution Steps

Step 1: Evaluate \(\csc(15^\circ)\)
  • The cosecant function is the reciprocal of the sine function: \(\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}\).
  • Calculate \(\sin(15^\circ)\) using a calculator in degree mode.
  • Take the reciprocal of the result to find \(\csc(15^\circ)\).
  • Round the final answer to five decimal places.
Step 2: Evaluate \(\sin(3.7)\)
  • Ensure the calculator is in radian mode since the angle is given in radians.
  • Calculate \(\sin(3.7)\) directly using the calculator.
  • Round the result to five decimal places.

Final Answer

(a) \(\boxed{3.86443}\)
(b) \(\boxed{-0.42738}\)
