Answer

$ \frac{1}{\sqrt (1 - \cos^{2}\theta)}$

Work Step by Step

We know that $\sin\theta$ and $\csc\theta$ are reciprocal to each other- Therefore- $\sin\theta\times\csc\theta$ = 1 or $\csc\theta$ = $ \frac{1}{\sin\theta}$ From first Pythagorean identity, we may write $\sin\theta$ as- $ \sin\theta = ±\sqrt (1 - \cos^{2}\theta)$ Therefore- $\csc\theta$ = $ \frac{1}{\sqrt (1 - \cos^{2}\theta)}$
