By forming and solving a quadratic equation, solve the equation 5*cosec(x) + cosec^2(x) = 2 - cot^2(x) in the interval 0<x<2*pi, giving the values of x in radians to three significant figures.

To solve the equation given in the question, we must first express the given equation in terms of only one trigonometric function, i.e. either all in cosec or all in cot. The easiest route would be cosec,...
