The value of the given composition is 61/60.

To evaluate csc[
cos^{-1 (-11/61)], we can start by using the given value of -11/61 to find the angle whose cosine is -11/61. We can use the inverse cosine function to do this:


cos^-^1 (-11/61) = θ

Next, we can use the cosecant function to find the value of cscθ:

cscθ = 1/sinθ

Since sinθ = √(1 -
cos^2θ), we can find sinθ by using the Pythagorean identity:

sinθ = √(1 -
(-11/61)^2)

sinθ = √(1 - 121/3721)

sinθ = √(3600/3721)

sinθ = √(3600)/√(3721)

sinθ = 60/61

Therefore, cscθ = 1/(60/61) = 61/60

So, csc[
cos^-^1 (-11/61)] = 61/60
