Answer

$sin\theta=-\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}$, $tan\theta=-\frac{\sqrt 5}{2}$, $cot\theta=-\frac{2\sqrt 5}{5}$, $sec\theta=\frac{3}{2}$, $csc\theta=-\frac{3\sqrt 5}{5}$.

Work Step by Step

Given $cos\theta=\frac{2}{3}$ and $\theta$ in quadrant IV, let $x=2, r=3$, we have $y=-\sqrt {3^2-2^2}=-\sqrt 5$ and $sin\theta=\frac{y}{r}=-\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}$, $tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}=-\frac{\sqrt 5}{2}$, $cot\theta=\frac{1}{tan\theta}=-\frac{2\sqrt 5}{5}$, $sec\theta=\frac{1}{cos\theta}=\frac{3}{2}$, $csc\theta=\frac{1}{sin\theta}=-\frac{3\sqrt 5}{5}$.
