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.

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.
