Answer

$\sin\theta$ = -1 $\cos\theta$ = 0 $\tan\theta$ = Undefined $\cot\theta$ = 0 $\sec\theta$ = Undefined $\csc\theta$ = - 1

Work Step by Step

Given, point (0, -5) is on the terminal side of $\theta$, we may apply Definition I to find all six trigonometric functions- We got $ x = 0, y = -5$ Therefore r= $\sqrt (x^{2} + y^{2})$ = $\sqrt ((0)^{2} + (-5)^{2})$ = $\sqrt (0 + 25)$ = $\sqrt (25)$ = 5 i.e. $ x = 0, y = -5,$ and $ r= 5$ Applying Definition I- $\sin\theta$ =$ \frac{y}{r}$ = $ \frac{-5}{5}$ = -1 $\cos\theta$ =$ \frac{x}{r}$ =$ \frac{0}{5}$ = 0 $\tan\theta$ =$ \frac{y}{x}$ =$ \frac{-5}{0}$ = Undefined $\cot\theta$ =$ \frac{x}{y}$ =$ \frac{0}{-5}$ = 0 $\sec\theta$ =$ \frac{r}{x}$ =$ \frac{5}{0}$ = Undefined $\csc\theta$ =$ \frac{r}{y}$ =$ \frac{5}{-5}$ = - 1
