Use the given values to evaluate the remaining trigonometric functions.
csc(X) = sqrt(17), tanx=-1/4

sinx: ___
cosx:___
secx:___
cotx:___

I know that tanx = sinx/cosx, so one value of sin is -1, but for cosecant, 1/-1 doesn't equal sqrt(17). I'm getting a bit confused on that part.

you know, if you make 1/sqrt17 the value of sin, your cos can be -4sqrt17 and tan would still be -1/4
