"see explanation"

Explanation:

"given "csctheta=3" then"

•color(white)(x)sintheta=1/csctheta=1/3

"since "sintheta>0" this indicates that "theta is in the first or second quadrant.

•color(white)(x)costheta=+-sqrt(1-sin^2theta)

color(white)(xxxxxx)=-sqrt(1-1/9)=-sqrt(8/9)

color(white)(xxxxxx)=-(2sqrt2)/3

•color(white)(x)sectheta=1/costheta=-1/((2sqrt2)/3)=-3/(2sqrt2)=-(3sqrt2)/4

•color(white)(x)tantheta=sintheta/costheta=(1/3)/(-(2sqrt2)/3)=-1/(2sqrt2)=-sqrt2/4

•color(white)(x)cottheta=1/tantheta=1/(-sqrt2/4)=-4/sqrt2=-2sqrt2

theta" is in the second quadrant"
