it is POSITIVE because tangent is said to be as OPPOSITE all over ADJACENT side of the triangle. since the opposite and adjacent sides of theta in Quadrant 3 are both negative, the quotient of two negative integers is POSITIVE. in third quadrant tanƟ= -O/-A

Is it possible for sin theta cos theta and tan theta to all be negative for the same value of theta?
No, they cannot all be negative and retain the same value for theta, as is shown with the four quadrants and their trigonemtric properties. For example, in the first quadrant (0
If sin theta equals 3/4 and theta is in quadrant II what is the value of tan theta?
0.75
Which quadrant would an answer be in if tan was positive and sin was negative?
The third quadrant.
If tansqtheta plus 5tantheta0 find the value of tantheta plus cottheta?
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
Exact solution for Tan theta equals negative square root of 3?
Negative 1.047197551 etc, etc.
What is sec theta if tan theta equals 2 with theta in quadrant 3?
If tan theta equals 2, then the sides of the triangle could be -2, -1, and square root of 5 (I used the Pythagorean Theorem to get this). From this, sec theta is negative square root of 5. It is negative because theta is in the third quadrant, where cosine, secant, sine, and cosecant are all negative.
Is it possible for sin theta cos theta and tan theta to all be negative for the same value of theta?
No, they cannot all be negative and retain the same value for theta, as is shown with the four quadrants and their trigonemtric properties. For example, in the first quadrant (0
If tan Theta equals 2 with Theta in Quadrant 3 find cot Theta?
Cotan(theta) is the reciprocal of the tan(theta). So, cot(theta) = 1/2.
If sin theta equals 3/4 and theta is in quadrant II what is the value of tan theta?
0.75
What is tan theta in terms of sin theta in quadrant II?
tan = sin/cos Now cos2 = 1 - sin2 so cos = +/- sqrt(1 - sin2) In the second quadrant, cos is negative, so cos = - sqrt(1 - sin2) So that tan = sin/[-sqrt(1 - sin2)] or -sin/sqrt(1 - sin2)
How do you find tan-theta when sin-theta equals -0.5736 and cos-theta is greater than 0?
-0.5736
How do you get the csc theta given tan theta in quadrant 1?
If tan(theta) = x then sin(theta) = x/(sqrt(x2 + 1) so that csc(theta) = [(sqrt(x2 + 1)]/x = sqrt(1 + 1/x2)
Which quadrant would an answer be in if tan was positive and sin was negative?
The third quadrant.
If tansqtheta plus 5tantheta0 find the value of tantheta plus cottheta?
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
If costheta equals frac2sqrt6 in Quadrant 1 then find tantheta?
tan theta = sqrt(2)/2 = 1/sqrt(2).
What is the identity for tan theta?
The identity for tan(theta) is sin(theta)/cos(theta).
Exact solution for Tan theta equals negative square root of 3?
Negative 1.047197551 etc, etc.
