The second quadrant (top left).
On a Unit Circle, the cosine is the x coordinate of the point on the circle represented by an angle. Angles greater than 90° (pi/2 radians) and less than 270° (3*pi/2 radians) are to the left of the y-axis, so x is negative. Quadrant I is the upper right quadrant (x positive, y positive) 0° < ɵ < 90° Quadrant II is the upper left quadrant (x negative, y positive) 90° < ɵ < 180° Quadrant III is the lower left quadrant (x negative, y negative) 180° < ɵ < 270° Quadrant IV is the lower right quadrant (x positive, y negative) 270° < ɵ < 360°
Reciprocal of tangent is '1 /tangent' or ' Cosine / Sine '
Sine Cosine Tangent Cotangent Secant Cosecant
The derivative of negative cosine is positive sine.
Quadrant 3.
It will be in 3rd Quadrant because cosine and sine both are negative in 3rd Quadrant
All the angles in 4th quadrant have positive cosine and negative sine e.g. 280,290,300,310...etc.
Cotangent is ' 1/tangent' or ' Cosine / Sine'.
Cotangent is 1 / tangent. Since tangent is sine / cosine, cotangent is cosine / sine.
If you are familiar with trigonometric functions defined in terms of the unit circle, the x and y coordinates are negative in the third quadrant. As a result, x/y, the ratio that defines cotangent, is positive.

The tangent function is equal to the sine divided by the cosine. In quadrant III, both sin and cos are negative - and a negative divided by another negative is positive. Thus it follows that the tangent is positive in QIII.
