Question 1159652: Use fundamental identities to find the values of the trigonometric functions for the given conditions.
csc θ = 6 and cot θ < 0
a). sin θ
b). cos θ
c). tan θ
I got 1/6 for sin which is correct. I got /6 for cos which is wrong and /35 for tan which is wrong too. What am I doing wrong?

.

Your angle is in the second quarter, where cot, tan and cosine  are negative.


So, you should take yours cosine and tan values with the sign minus  ( " - ").

Is my explanation clear to you ?
