Solution

Step 1 :We are given that \(\cos \theta = \frac{15}{17}\) and \(\tan \theta < 0\). This implies that \(\theta\) is in the fourth quadrant, where cosine is positive and tangent is negative.

Step 2 :We can use the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\) to find \(\sin \theta\). Since \(\theta\) is in the fourth quadrant, \(\sin \theta\) should be negative. Solving for \(\sin \theta\), we get \(\sin \theta = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 \theta} = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{15}{17}\right)^2} = -\frac{8}{17}\).

Step 3 :Next, we can find \(\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{-8/17}{15/17} = -\frac{8}{15}\).

Step 4 :We can find \(\csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{1}{-8/17} = -\frac{17}{8}\).

Step 5 :We can find \(\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \frac{1}{15/17} = \frac{17}{15}\).

Step 6 :We can find \(\cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = \frac{1}{-8/15} = -\frac{15}{8}\).

Step 7 :Final Answer: \(\sin \theta= \boxed{-\frac{8}{17}}, \tan \theta= \boxed{-\frac{8}{15}}, \csc \theta= \boxed{-\frac{17}{8}}, \sec \theta= \boxed{\frac{17}{15}}, \cot \theta= \boxed{-\frac{15}{8}}\)
