Answer

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

Work Step by Step

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