Answer 1

will give medal

Answer 2

quadrant 2

Answer 3

its easy if you remember that cos refers to "x" value, sin refers to "y" value

Answer 4

okay! one more? State the quadrant in which theta lies if cot(theta)>0 and cos(theta)>0.

Answer 5

that would be x

Answer 6

so quadrant 4?

Answer 7

@dumbcow is that right?

Answer 8

nope, cot = cos/sin

Answer 9

so it would be either 3 or 5?

Answer 10

hmm well they are only 4 quadrants
ok you know cos>0 , so it must be either quad1 or quad4
cot>0 so sin must be >0 , thus quad1

Answer 11

oh!! so cot = cos/sin I get it!!

Answer 12

okay! I get it, Thanks so much!
