If sin(t)=2/3, and t is in quadrant II, find
cos(t), sec(t), csc(t), tan(t), cot(t).
-----------------
cos = sqrt(1 - sin^2) = sqrt(5/9)
---
tan = sin/cos
cot = cos/sin
sec = 1/cos
csc = 1/sin

If sin(t)=2/3, and t is in quadrant II, find
cos(t), sec(t), csc(t), tan(t), cot(t).
-----------------
cos = -sqrt(1 - sin^2) = -sqrt(5)/3, since in quadrant II cosine function is negative.
---
tan = sin/cos
cot = cos/sin
sec = 1/cos
csc = 1/sin

I'll use the greek letter (pronounced "theta") in place of t because theta is often used in trig.
sin(theta) = 2/3
sine = opposite/hypotenuse
We could say
opposite = 2
hypotenuse = 3
Draw a right triangle in quadrant Q2 (northwest quadrant)
The reference angle theta is placed in the bottom right corner of the triangle.
The unknown side adjacent is labeled x.
Use the pythagorean theorem
or
I'll go with the negative version of x to indicate we're to the left of the y axis.
x < 0 in Q2
Here's the updated diagram
opposite = 2
adjacent =
hypotenuse = 3
Then,
(this is the reciprocal of sine)
(this is the reciprocal of cosine)
(this is the reciprocal of tangent)
