is in quadrant IV,
find
recall:
=> if and =>=>=> or
then or
since given that the terminal point for is in quadrant IV, sine is negative, so we will use

using identities and , we have
...substitute values above

If cos t = 3/5 and the terminal point for t is in quadrant IV, find cot t + csc t.


The above indicates a 3-4-5 Pythagorean triple, with "t" in Q IV. Therefore, y = = -4.

We then get:
