4
The correct answer is 4.
To find the value of the trigonometric expression:
we can convert the cosecant and secant functions into sine and cosine functions.
Using the reciprocal identities,
and
:
Taking the common denominator, we get:
Multiply and divide the numerator by 2:
We know that
and
.
Substituting these values in the numerator:
Apply the trigonometric difference identity
:
