A is an obtuse angle such that cos(A)=-4/5. Find:
1. Cos(4A)

A is a QII angle. We draw a 3-4-5 right triangle in QII. , ,

2. Sin (4A).

A is an obtuse angle such that cos(A)=-4/5.
----
The terminal point is in Q2.
======
Find:
1. Cos(4A)
cos(2A) = 2cos^2(A) - 1 = 32/25 - 1 = 7/25
---
cos(4A) = 2*(7/25)^2 - 1 = 98/625 - 1
= -527/625
=====================================
2. Sin (4A)
sin(4A) = sqrt(1 - cos^2(4A))
= sqrt(390625/390625 - 277729/390625)
= sqrt(112896/390625)
= -336/625
