if cosƟ = -2/3 and cotƟ >0, find the other trigonometric functions of Ɵ.
----
Since cos is negative and cot is positive, theta is in QIII where
x and y are both negative.
----
Since cos = x/r, x = -2 and r = 3
------
y = -sqrt(3^2-2^2) = -sqrt(5)
-------
sin = y/r = -sqrt(5)/3
cos = x/r = -2/3
tan = y/x = sqrt(5)/2
-----
csc, sec, and cot are inverse of sin, cos, and tan
