Answer

$csc[arccos(x-1)]=\frac{1}{\sqrt {-x^2+2x}}$

Work Step by Step

Let $u=arccos(x-1)~~$ (Range: $0\lt u\lt\pi$) Then: $x-1=cos~u$ $sin^2u+cos^2u=1$ $sin^2u=1-cos^2u$ $sin^2u=1-(x-1)^2=1-x^2+2x-1=-x^2+2x$ $sin~u=\sqrt {-x^2+2x}~~$ ($0\lt u\lt\pi$) $csc[arccos(x-1)]=csc~u=\frac{1}{sin~u}=\frac{1}{\sqrt {-x^2+2x}}$
