Find the values of the trigonometric functions of 𝜃 from the information given.
cos(𝜃) = 
6/13,sin(𝜃) < 0

Given that \(\cos(\theta) = \frac{6}{13}\) and \(\sin(\theta) < 0\), we can determine the values of the trigonometric functions of \(\theta\).

### Step 1: Determine the quadrant
- \(\cos(\theta) > 0\) (positive).
- \(\sin(\theta) < 0\) (negative).

These conditions indicate that \(\theta\) is in the **fourth quadrant**.

### Step 2: Find \(\sin(\theta)\)
We use the Pythagorean identity:
\[
\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1
\]
Substitute \(\cos(\theta) = \frac{6}{13}\):
\[
\sin^2(\theta) + \left(\frac{6}{13}\right)^2 = 1
\]
\[
\sin^2(\theta) + \frac{36}{169} = 1
\]
\[
\sin^2(\theta) = 1 - \frac{36}{169}
\]
\[
\sin^2(\theta) = \frac{169}{169} - \frac{36}{169} = \frac{133}{169}
\]
\[
\sin(\theta) = \pm\sqrt{\frac{133}{169}} = \pm\frac{\sqrt{133}}{13}
\]

Since \(\sin(\theta) < 0\) (in the fourth quadrant):
\[
\sin(\theta) = -\frac{\sqrt{133}}{13}
\]

### Step 3: Find \(\tan(\theta)\)
\[
\tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} = \frac{-\frac{\sqrt{133}}{13}}{\frac{6}{13}} = -\frac{\sqrt{133}}{6}
\]

### Step 4: Find \(\csc(\theta)\), \(\sec(\theta)\), and \(\cot(\theta)\)
\[
\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)} = -\frac{13}{\sqrt{133}}
\]
\[
\sec(\theta) = \frac{1}{\cos(\theta)} = \frac{13}{6}
\]
\[
\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)} = -\frac{6}{\sqrt{133}}
\]

### Summary of Trigonometric Functions
- \(\cos(\theta) = \frac{6}{13}\)
- \(\sin(\theta) = -\frac{\sqrt{133}}{13}\)
- \(\tan(\theta) = -\frac{\sqrt{133}}{6}\)
- \(\csc(\theta) = -\frac{13}{\sqrt{133}}\)
- \(\sec(\theta) = \frac{13}{6}\)
