Explanation / Answer

given cot(theta) = - 5/8

cot(theta) = cos(theta) / sin(theta) , cos(theta) > 0, sin(theta) has to be < 0

cot(theta) = adjacent side / opposite side

by pythogorous theorem

hyp^2 = adj^2 + opp^2

hyp^2 = (8)^2 + ( -5)^2 ==> 64 + 25

hyp= sqrt(89)

sin(theta) = opp / hyp ==> - 5 / sqrt(89)

cos(theta) = adj / hyp ==> 8 / sqrt(89)

tan(theta) = opp / adj =sin(theta) /cos(theta) = 1/cot(theta) ==> - 8 / 5

csc(theta) = 1/sin(theta)= - sqrt(89) / 5

sec(theta) = 1/cos(theta) = sqrt(89) / 8

====

csc(t) = 7 , cos(theta) < 0

sin(t) = 1/csc(t) ==> 1/7 ==> opp / hyp

hyp^2 = adj^2 + opp^2

7^2 = adj^2 + 1^2

adj^2 = 49 - 1

adj= + / - sqrt(48)

cos(theta) = adj / hyp = - sqrt(48) / 7

sec(theta) = 1/cos(theta) = - 7 / sqrt(48)

tan(theta) = sin(theta) /cos(theta) = - 1 / sqrt(48)

cot(theta) = 1/tan(theta) = - sqrt(48) / 1
