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°

Which quadrant is sine positive and cosine negative?

Sine is positive and cosine is negative in the second quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system. In this quadrant, the angle is between 90 and 180 degrees, where the y-coordinate (sine) is positive and the x-coordinate (cosine) is negative. Thus, for any angle in the second quadrant, sine values are above the x-axis, while cosine values are below it.

What quadrant of the terminal side and the sign of the function when cot is-495 degrees?

To find the quadrant and sign of the cotangent function for -495 degrees, first, convert it to a positive angle by adding 360 degrees until the angle is within the standard range. -495 + 720 = 225 degrees. The angle 225 degrees is in the third quadrant, where both sine and cosine are negative, making cotangent (which is the ratio of cosine to sine) positive. Thus, cot(-495 degrees) is positive and located in the third quadrant.

Why is the tangent positive on quadrant III?

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.


Is tan theta in the 3rd quadrant negative?

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.
