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.

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)


What is sec theta - 1 over sec theta?

Let 'theta' = A [as 'A' is easier to type] sec A - 1/(sec A) = 1/(cos A) - cos A = (1 - cos^2 A)/(cos A) = (sin^2 A)/(cos A) = (tan A)*(sin A) Then you can swap back the 'A' with theta


Tan equals 0.3421 sin equals 0.3237 Which quadrant does it terminate?

The value of tan and sin is positive so you must search quadrant that tan and sin value is positive. The only quadrant fill that qualification is Quadrant 1.
