The answer depends on what theta represents!

tan2(theta) + 5*tan(theta) = 0 => tan(theta)*[tan(theta) + 5] = 0=> tan(theta) = 0 or tan(theta) = -5If tan(theta) = 0 then tan(theta) + cot(theta) is not defined.If tan(theta) = -5 then tan(theta) + cot(theta) = -5 - 1/5 = -5.2
In a right triangle, the right angle is formed by sides a and b. Side c is the hypotenuse.Theta is the interior angle that joins (let's say) sides b and c. The sin of theta is the length of a over the length of c. The cos of theta is the length of b over the length of c. The tan of theta is the length of a over the length of b.Sin theta= opposite divided by hypotenuse. Cos theta=adjacent divided by hypotenuse. Tan theta=opposite over adjacent.(Sin1-Cos1)-Tan1=-1.25623905Sorry, that was a mathematician's joke.
It is cotangent(theta).

In the third quadrant, both the x and y coordinates are negative. Since tangent is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle, in the third quadrant where both sides are negative, the tangent of an angle theta will be positive. Therefore, tan theta is not negative in the third quadrant.
