Find the principal value of \begin{align} cosec^{-1}\left({-\sqrt2}\right)\end{align}
\begin{align} Let \;\; cosec^{-1}\left({-\sqrt2}\right)=y \;\;Then\;\; cosec y = -{\sqrt2} =- cosec\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = cosec\left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\end{align}
We know that the range of the principal value branch of cosec−1 is
\begin{align} \left[-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right] - \left(0 \right) and \;\;cosec\left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = -\sqrt2.\end{align}
Therefore, the principal value of
\begin{align} cosec^{-1}\left(-\sqrt2\right) is -\frac{\pi}{4}\end{align}
