Answer

$cos\theta= -\frac{2\sqrt 6}{7}$, $tan\theta= -\frac{5\sqrt 6}{12}$, $cot\theta= -\frac{2\sqrt 6}{5}$, $sec\theta= -\frac{7\sqrt 6}{12}$, $csc\theta= \frac{7}{5}$.

Work Step by Step

Given $sin\theta=\frac{5}{7}$ and $\theta$ in quadrant II, let $y=5, r=7$, we have $x=-\sqrt {7^2-5^2}=-2\sqrt 6$ and $cos\theta=\frac{x}{r}=-\frac{2\sqrt 6}{7}$, $tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}=-\frac{5\sqrt 6}{12}$, $cot\theta=\frac{1}{tan\theta}=-\frac{2\sqrt 6}{5}$, $sec\theta=\frac{1}{cos\theta}=-\frac{7\sqrt 6}{12}$, $csc\theta=\frac{1}{sin\theta}=\frac{7}{5}$.
