Choose all answers that are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In quadrant IV, the tangent is negative, so the first answer choice cannot be correct.

The triangle involved is a 3-4-5 triangle, so the second answer choice cannot be correct.

The cosecant can be found several ways. One is to find the sine of the angle (-4/5 — compare to answer choice 2), then invert it. (csc(θ) = 1/sin(θ)) Here that means csc(θ) = 1/(-4/5) = -5/4, in agreement with the third answer choice.

cos(θ) = 1/sec(θ) = 1/(5/3) = 3/5, in agreement with the fourth answer choice.

Comment on cosecant

You know from SOH CAH TOA that ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Then Sec = 1/Cos = Hypotenuse/Adjacent. This can help you draw the triangle, which you quickly realize is a 3-4-5 right triangle. If not, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the opposite side length as ...

  √(5²-3²) = √16 = 4

Remember the triangle is being drawn in the 4th quadrant, so the side opposite the angle will be negative.

Of course, Csc = 1/Sin = Hypotenuse/Opposite, so is 5/(-4) = -5/4.
