in which quadrant tan theta is positive?
tan = y/x what conditions that y/x yield a positive answer?
when both x and y are positive and also when both x and y are negative
Tan is sin/cos, right? Where is sin positive? Where is cos positive? Where is sin negative? Where is cos negative?

Quadrant I and III. The best way is to use the trig unit circle. This will help you when you learn real trigonometry that is the study of the variable arc AM = x. This arc AM varies counter clockwise on the trig unit circle|dw:1396022224419:dw| On the trig unit circle, the axis T'AT define the function f(x) = tan x. AH = tan x. There are 2 arcs AM and AM' that have the same tan value (AH).
