$\csc (x) - \sin (x)$

Step 1

Rewrite $\csc (x)$ in terms of sines and cosines.

$\frac{1}{\sin (x)} - \sin (x)$

Step 2

Convert from $\frac{1}{\sin (x)}$ to $\csc (x)$ .

$\csc (x) - \sin (x)$

Step 3

This is the trigonometric form of a complex number where $| z |$ is the modulus and $θ$ is the angle created on the complex plane.

$z = a + b i = | z | (\cos (θ) + i \sin (θ))$

Step 4

The modulus of a complex number is the distance from the origin on the complex plane.

$| z | = \sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2}}$ where $z = a + b i$

Step 5

Substitute the actual values of $a = \csc (x)$ and $b = - 1 \sin (x)$ .

$| z | = \sqrt{{(- 1 \sin (x))}^{2} + \csc^{2} (x)}$

Step 6.7.1

Rewrite $1$ as $1^{2}$ .

$| z | = \sqrt{\sin^{2} (x) + \frac{1^{2}}{\sin^{2} (x)}}$

Step 7

The angle of the point on the complex plane is the inverse tangent of the complex portion over the real portion.

$θ = \arctan (\frac{- 1 \sin (x)}{\csc (x)})$

Step 8

Substitute the values of $θ = \arctan (\frac{- 1 \sin (x)}{\csc (x)})$ and $| z | = \sqrt{\sin^{2} (x) + \csc^{2} (x)}$ .

$\sqrt{\sin^{2} (x) + \csc^{2} (x)} (\cos (\arctan (\frac{- 1 \sin (x)}{\csc (x)})) + i \sin (\arctan (\frac{- 1 \sin (x)}{\csc (x)})))$
