You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the remaining trigonometric ratios of theta if cos theta = -1/3 and theta is not in QII
***
cos<0 in QII and QIII, so it must be in QIII for this problem
cos theta=-1/3
sin theta=√(1-cos^2 theta)=√(1-(-1/3)^2)=√(1-(1/9))=√(8/9)=√8/3=2√2/3
tan theta=sin theta/cos theta=-2√2
sec theta=-3
csc theta=3√2/4
cot theta=-√2/4
