Remember the definition of csc(x).

To graph y = csc-1(x) on the calculator, which expression should be typed in the calculator

If there's no built-in function for csc⁻¹, you can use the identity

csc⁻¹(x) = sin⁻¹(1/x)

which works because if we replace x = csc(y), for instance, we end up with

csc⁻¹(csc(y)) = sin⁻¹(1/csc(y))

and over an appropriate interval, the left side reduces to y, while 1/csc(y) = sin(y) so that the right side also reduces to sin⁻¹(sin(y)) = y.
