Answer

$csc~(arctan~\frac{\sqrt{9-u^2}}{u}) = \frac{3~\sqrt{9-u^2}}{9-u^2}$

Work Step by Step

Let $~~\theta = arctan~\frac{\sqrt{9-u^2}}{u}$ Then $~~tan~\theta = \frac{\sqrt{9-u^2}}{u}$ We can find an expression for $csc~\theta$: $csc~\theta = \frac{\sqrt{(\sqrt{9-u^2})^2+u^2}}{\sqrt{9-u^2}}$ $csc~\theta = \frac{\sqrt{9-u^2+u^2}}{\sqrt{9-u^2}}$ $csc~\theta = \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{9-u^2}}$ $csc~\theta = \frac{3}{\sqrt{9-u^2}}$ $csc~\theta = (\frac{3}{\sqrt{9-u^2}})~(\frac{\sqrt{9-u^2}}{\sqrt{9-u^2}})$ $csc~\theta = \frac{3~\sqrt{9-u^2}}{9-u^2}$ Therefore, $~~csc~(arctan~\frac{\sqrt{9-u^2}}{u}) = \frac{3~\sqrt{9-u^2}}{9-u^2}$
