cot theta = -3/4
-
sin theta = -4/5

Note - The - is just a spacer your not subtracting.

Answer:

Here, we have
\sec\theta =(5)/(3)

Since
\sec\theta=(Hypotenuse)/(Base)= (5)/(3)

So, for the angle θ,

Hypotenuse = 5 and Base = 3

Using Pythogoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base²) + (Perpendicular )²

(5 )² = ( 3 )² + (Perpendicular )²

Perpendicular = 25 - 9 = √16 = 4

we have given θ lie in IV quadrant. In IV quadrant cos and sec are positive function but sine, cosec, tan and cot are negative.


\sin\theta=(Perpendicular)/(Hypotenuse)=-(4)/(5)


\cos\theta=(Base)/(Hypotenuse)=(3)/(5)


\tan\theta=(Perpendicular)/(Base)=-(4)/(3)


\csc\theta=(Hypotenuse)/(Perpendicular)=-(5)/(4)


\cot\theta=(Base)/(Perpendicular)=-(3)/(4)
