Find the values of the trig functions below when sin t = (sqrt56)/9 and the terminal point is in Quadrant 2.

My answers are...

cot t = -(5(sqrt56)/56)
cos t = -(5/9)
tan t = -((sqrt56)/5)

so draw a di|dw:1442696181696:dw|agram... you know $$opposite = \sqrt{56}~~~~hypotenuse = 9$$

find a using pythagoras, and remember that it's negative

then you can find the ratios you need
