Answer

$sin\theta =-\frac{2\sqrt 5}{5}$, $cos\theta= \frac{\sqrt 5}{5}$, $cot\theta= -\frac{1}{2}$, $sec\theta= \sqrt 5$, $csc\theta= -\frac{\sqrt 5}{2}$.

Work Step by Step

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