Solution Steps

Solution Approach
  1. Given \(\cos \theta = -\frac{5}{6}\) and \(90^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ\), we know that \(\theta\) is in the second quadrant where sine is positive and cosine is negative.
  2. Use the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\) to verify \(\sin \theta\).
  3. Calculate \(\tan \theta\) using the identity \(\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}\).
  4. Calculate \(\cot \theta\) as the reciprocal of \(\tan \theta\).
  5. Calculate \(\sec \theta\) as the reciprocal of \(\cos \theta\).
  6. Calculate \(\csc \theta\) as the reciprocal of \(\sin \theta\).
Step 1: Calculate \(\tan \theta\)

Using the values of \(\sin \theta\) and \(\cos \theta\), we find: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}{-\frac{5}{6}} = -\frac{\sqrt{11}}{5} \approx -0.6633 \]

Step 2: Calculate \(\cot \theta\)

The cotangent is the reciprocal of the tangent: \[ \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = -\frac{5}{\sqrt{11}} \approx -1.508 \]

Step 3: Calculate \(\sec \theta\)

The secant is the reciprocal of the cosine: \[ \sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = -\frac{6}{5} = -1.2 \]

Step 4: Calculate \(\csc \theta\)

The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine: \[ \csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{6}{\sqrt{11}} \approx 1.8091 \]

Final Answer

\[ \tan \theta \approx -0.6633, \quad \cot \theta \approx -1.508, \quad \sec \theta = -1.2, \quad \csc \theta \approx 1.8091 \] Thus, the final boxed answers are: \[ \boxed{\tan \theta \approx -0.6633, \quad \cot \theta \approx -1.508, \quad \sec \theta = -1.2, \quad \csc \theta \approx 1.8091} \]
