arcCosec(x) is the same as arcSin(1/x). therefore arcSin(x) * arcSin(1/x)=1 for which the is no possible solution because when x<1, 1/x >1 and vice versa and having know that Sinx less than or equal to one

It would help to add in the question that x x must be real. But moving on to the solution: The equation is equivalent to 1 arcsin x = arcsin 1 x \frac{1}{\arcsin{x}}=\arcsin{\frac{1}{x}} . Since the argument of arc sine must be less than or equal to 1 1 in absolute value, we must have x 1 |x|\leq 1 and 1 x 1 \frac{1}{|x|}\leq 1 . These inequalities are only simultaneously satisfied when x = 1 , 1 x=-1,1 . But testing these in the equation, we see that neither are solutions. Therefore, there are no solutions.
