What is csc2x if tanx = -3/4 and pi/2 < x < pi

The first "<" is a one with a line under it.

Why do the values of sin and cos follow such a pattern:

sin(0)=(√0)/2 sin(π/6)=(√1)/2 sin(π/4)=(√2)/2 sin(π/3)=(√3)/2 sin(π/2)=(√4)/2   cos(0)=(√4)/2cos(π/6)=(√3)/2cos(π/4)=(√2)/2cos(π/3)=(√1)/2cos(π/2)=(√0)/2   Why do they follow this pattern?... more
