<em>Additional comment</em>
The terminal point on the unit circle of the ray at angle 3π/2 is (0, -1). The tangent is the ratio of the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate: y/x = -1/0. It is undefined at that point.

We need to simplify this number. We begin by evaluating the numbers inside the equation. We can simplify this to:
Now, we evaluate this one step further. Because a negative exponent makes the number 1 over what it was, we can make this problem:
This becomes:
So, 1/4k is the answer. This is the same as C, so C is the right answer.
