\[ \sin\theta = \frac{2\sqrt{29}}{29}, \quad \cos\theta = -\frac{5\sqrt{29}}{29}, \quad \tan\theta = -\frac{2}{5}, \] \[ \csc\theta = \frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}, \quad \sec\theta = -\frac{\sqrt{29}}{5}, \quad \cot\theta = -\frac{5}{2}. \]

Solución

We are given \[ \tan\theta = -\frac{2}{5} \quad \text{and} \quad \csc\theta > 0. \] **Step 1. Determine the Quadrant** Since \[ \csc\theta = \frac{1}{\sin\theta} > 0, \] we have \(\sin\theta > 0\). Also, \[ \tan\theta = \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} = -\frac{2}{5} \] is negative. Given that \(\sin\theta > 0\), it follows that \(\cos\theta\) must be negative. Hence, \(\theta\) is in the second quadrant. **Step 2. Set up a Right Triangle** We express the tangent ratio as \[ \tan\theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{2}{5}. \] Since \(\tan\theta\) is negative in the second quadrant, we take the numerator (opposite side) positive and the denominator (adjacent side) negative. Thus, let: - Opposite side \(= 2\), - Adjacent side \(= -5\). **Step 3. Find the Hypotenuse** Using the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse \(r\) is: \[ r = \sqrt{(\text{opposite})^2 + (\text{adjacent})^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 25} = \sqrt{29}. \] **Step 4. Compute the Trigonometric Functions** 1. **Sine:** \[ \sin\theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{r} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{29}} = \frac{2\sqrt{29}}{29} \quad (\text{after rationalizing}). \] 2. **Cosine:** \[ \cos\theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{r} = \frac{-5}{\sqrt{29}} = -\frac{5\sqrt{29}}{29}. \] 3. **Tangent:** (given) \[ \tan\theta = -\frac{2}{5}. \] 4. **Cosecant:** \[ \csc\theta = \frac{1}{\sin\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}. \] 5. **Secant:** \[ \sec\theta = \frac{1}{\cos\theta} = -\frac{\sqrt{29}}{5}. \] 6. **Cotangent:** \[ \cot\theta = \frac{1}{\tan\theta} = -\frac{5}{2}. \] **Final Answers:** \[ \sin\theta = \frac{2\sqrt{29}}{29}, \quad \cos\theta = -\frac{5\sqrt{29}}{29}, \quad \tan\theta = -\frac{2}{5}, \] \[ \csc\theta = \frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}, \quad \sec\theta = -\frac{\sqrt{29}}{5}, \quad \cot\theta = -\frac{5}{2}. \]

Given that \( \tan \theta = -\frac{2}{5} \) and \( \csc \theta > 0 \), we can determine the values of the other trigonometric functions. Since \( \tan \theta \) is negative and \( \csc \theta > 0 \), we know that \( \theta \) is in the second quadrant (where sine is positive and cosine is negative). From \( \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \), we can set \(\sin \theta = 2k\) and \(\cos \theta = -5k\) for some positive \(k\). Now we can use the Pythagorean identity: \[ \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1. \] Plugging in our expressions for \(\sin \theta\) and \(\cos \theta\): \[ (2k)^2 + (-5k)^2 = 1, \] \[ 4k^2 + 25k^2 = 1, \] \[ 29k^2 = 1, \] \[ k^2 = \frac{1}{29}, \] \[ k = \frac{1}{\sqrt{29}}. \] Now we can find \(\sin \theta\) and \(\cos \theta\): \[ \sin \theta = 2k = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{29}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{29}}, \] \[ \cos \theta = -5k = -5 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{29}} = -\frac{5}{\sqrt{29}}. \] Next, we can find \( \sec \theta, \cot \theta, \) and \( \cos \theta \). 1. **Secant**: \[ \sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = -\frac{\sqrt{29}}{5}. \] 2. **Cosecant**: \[ \csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}. \] 3. **Cotangent**: \[ \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = -\frac{5}{2}. \] Thus, the exact values of the trigonometric functions are: - \( \sin \theta = \frac{2}{\sqrt{29}} \) - \( \cos \theta = -\frac{5}{\sqrt{29}} \) - \( \tan \theta = -\frac{2}{5} \) - \( \csc \theta = \frac{\sqrt{29}}{2} \) - \( \sec \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{29}}{5} \) - \( \cot \theta = -\frac{5}{2} \) So we have all the remaining trigonometric functions calculated!
