1. a) tan^-1(-1/4) b) cos^-1(-1/4)
The range for tan^-1 is through . And since the argument is negative, tan^-1(-1/4) will have a value between 0 and (i.e. negative). The range for cos^-1 is 0 to . And since the argument is negative, cos^-1(-1/4) will have a value between and . Positive is larger than negative.

2. a) sin(4pi/5) b) cos(4pi/5)
is in the second quadrant. sin is positive in the second quadrant and cos is negative in the second quadrant. Again, positive is larger than negative.
