Find the values of the remaining trigonometric functions if If tan t = -4 and csc t > 0.
----------
Negative tan and positive csc --> Q2
--> terminal point is (-1,4)
---------
tan = y/x = 4/-1
--> terminal point is (-1,4)
r = sqrt(x^2+y^2) = sqrt(17)
---------
sin = y/r = 4/sqrt(17) = 4sqrt(17)/17
cos = x/r = -1/sqrt(17) = -sqrt(17)/17
---
cot = 1/tan = -1/4
sec = 1/cos = -sqrt(17)
csc = 1/sin = sqrt(17)/4
