Answer

$\tan\theta=\sqrt 3$ $\cot\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt {3}}$ $ \sec\theta=-2$ $\cos\theta=-\frac{1}{2}$ $\sin\theta=-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$ $\csc\theta=-\frac{2\sqrt 3}{3}$

Work Step by Step

$\tan\theta=\sqrt 3$ $\cot\theta=\frac{1}{\tan\theta}=\frac{1}{\sqrt {3}}$ $\sec^{2}\theta=1+\tan^{2}\theta=1+3=4$ $\implies \sec\theta=\pm 2$ $\sec\theta$ is negative in the third quadrant. $\implies \sec\theta=-2$ $\cos\theta=\frac{1}{\sec\theta}=-\frac{1}{2}$ $\sin\theta=\tan\theta\times\cos\theta=\sqrt {3}\times-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$ $\csc\theta=\frac{1}{\sin\theta}=-\frac{2}{\sqrt 3}=-\frac{2\sqrt 3}{3}$
