Let theta be an angle in Quadrant II such that the sin of theta = 5/6.
Find the exact values of the sec of theta and the tan of theta.
***
sinx=5/6
cosx=sqrt%281-sin%5E2%28x%29%29=sqrt%281-%2825%2F36%29%29=sqrt%2811%2F36%29=sqrt%2811%29%2F6
secx=1/cosx=6/√11=(6√11)/11
tanx=sinx/cosx=5/√11=(5√11)/11
