find the values of the trigonometric functions of t from the given information tan(t)=1/4 terminal point of t is in quadrant III
-----
Note: In QIII, x is negative and y is negative.
-------
Definition:: tan = y/x
----
Since tan(t) = 1/4, y = -1 and x = -4
--------
Then r = sqrt[4^2 + 1^2] = sqrt(17)
------------
Your Problem::
sin = y/r = -1/sqrt(17)
cos = x/r = -4/sqrt(17)
tan = 1/4
--------
csc, sec, and cot are the inverse of sin, cos, and tan
-------------------------------
