(a) sketch an angle A in standard position whose terminal ray passses through the point (1,-4)
(b) Find the exact value of the six trigonometric functions of A,
(c) Let B be the reference angle of A. Find a point on the terminal rsy of B in standard position and add B to your sketch.

construct your right-angled triangle by drawing a perpendicular to the x-axis from (1,-4)
then r^2 = x^2 + y^2 = 1 + 16
r = √17
b)
sinA = -4/√17
cscA = -√17/4
cosA = 1/√17
secA = √17
tanA = -4/1 = -4
cotA = -1/4
then r^2 = x^2 + y^2 = 1 + 16
r = √17
