You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the values of the trigonometric functions of t from the given information.
tan t= -4, csc t >0
-----------------
tan is negative and csc is positive in QII where x is negative; y is positive.
----------
tan(t) = -4/1 = y/x imples that x = -1 and y = 4
r = sqrt(1+16) = sqrt(17)
-------------------------------
sin = y/r = 4/sqrt(17)
cos = x/r = -1/sqrt(17)
tan = y/x = -4
---------
csc = r/y = sqrt(17)/4
sec = r/x = -sqrt(17)
cot = x/y = -1/4
