You can  put this solution on YOUR website!  I cant solve these problem's would like some help. 
1.If cos 0= -4/5,find sec 0.  
sec = 1/cos 
sec = -5/4 
------------------- 
2.Find the value of sin 0 for angle 0 in standard position of the point (-2,-4)that lies on the terminal side. 
The radius = sqrt(2^2 + 4^2) 
r = 2sqrt(5) 
sin = y/r = -4/(2sqrt(5)) 
sin = -2sqrt(5)/5 
--------------- 
3.Suppose 0 is an angle in standard position whose terminal side lies in quadrant 2 and the tan 0=-1.Find the remaining trigonometric functions for the function 0. 
tan = sin/cos = y/x 
In quadrant 2, y is + and x is negative and = absolute value 
r = 1 
x^2 + y^2 = 1 and x = -y 
2x^2 = 1 
x = -sqrt(2)/2 = cos 
y = +sqrt(2)/2 = sin 
The other 3 are the inverses.
 
4.Use the right triangle ABC to find side a if A=37 and b=9' 
Angle B = 90-37 = 53º 
Law of Sines: 
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) 
a = 9*sin(37)/sin(53) 
a =~ 6.782

BTW, the plural of problem is problems, no apostrophe.
