Solution Steps
To find the six trigonometric functions of the angle \(\theta\) given a point \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}, \frac{5}{6}\right)\) on its terminal side, we can follow these steps:
Identify the coordinates \(x = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\) and \(y = \frac{5}{6}\).
Calculate the radius \(r\) using the Pythagorean theorem: \(r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\).
Use the definitions of the trigonometric functions in terms of \(x\), \(y\), and \(r\):
\(\sin \theta = \frac{y}{r}\)
\(\cos \theta = \frac{x}{r}\)
\(\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x}\)
\(\csc \theta = \frac{r}{y}\)
\(\sec \theta = \frac{r}{x}\)
\(\cot \theta = \frac{x}{y}\)
Step 1: Identify the coordinates and calculate the radius
Given the coordinates \( x = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{6} \) and \( y = \frac{5}{6} \), we first calculate the radius \( r \) using the Pythagorean theorem:
\[
r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = \sqrt{\left(\frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^2} = 1
\]
Step 2: Calculate the trigonometric functions
Using the definitions of the trigonometric functions in terms of \( x \), \( y \), and \( r \):
