cos(theta) <0

OpenStudy (danjs):

sin(theta) is the y value on a unit circle, the tangent is the y/x value on a unit circle (x,y) = (cos(theta), sin(theta))

OpenStudy (danjs):

and tan(theta) = y/x is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh

OpenStudy (danjs):

what quadrant does that leave you in?

OpenStudy (danjs):

sorry, sin(theat) is the y value, and is positive, and cos(theta) the x value is negative neg x value and pos y value

OpenStudy (danjs):

leaves you in the second quadrant, so between theta = 90 and theta = 180

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[-Tan(\theta) = \frac{ \sin(\theta) }{ -\cos(\theta) } = \frac{ + }{ - }\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

where (x,y) = (cos, sin) you have (-x,+y) ....second quadrant
