Answer

$\cos{\theta} =-\dfrac{5}{13}$ $\tan{\theta}=-\dfrac{12}{5}$ $\csc{\theta} =\dfrac{13}{12}$ $\sec{\theta} =-\dfrac{13}{5}$ $\cot{\theta} =-\dfrac{5}{12}$

Work Step by Step

Since $\theta \in QII$, then $\cos{\theta} <0$. $\cos{\theta} = -\sqrt{1-\sin^2 {\theta}}$ $\cos{\theta} = -\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{12}{13} \right)^2} = -\dfrac{5}{13}$ $\tan{\theta}= \dfrac{\sin{\theta}}{\cos{\theta}}$ $\tan{\theta}= \dfrac{\dfrac{12}{13}}{-\dfrac{5}{13}} = -\dfrac{12}{5}$ $\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\sin{\theta}}$ $\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12}{13}}= \dfrac{13}{12}$ $\sec{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\cos{\theta}}$ $\sec{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{5}{13}} = -\dfrac{13}{5}$ $\cot{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\tan{\theta}}$ $\cot{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12}{5}} = -\dfrac{5}{12}$
