math help and trig stuff

21. Determine the quadrant when the terminal side of the angle lies according to the following conditions: cos (t) > 0, tan (t) > 0. Quadrant IV Quadrant I Quadrant II Quadrant III
oh nvm its not triangles i thought it was for some reason
ok remember (x,y)=(cos(theta),sin(theta)) (assume r=1) you are given so for that x is positive and y/x is positive so what does that mean about y?
come on if you divide a positive by a positive you get a ? and if you divide a positive by a negative you get a ? and if you divide a negative by a positive you get a? and if you divide a negative by a negative you get a ?
hint: |dw:1431621822633:dw|
ok
the first quadrant?
yes since y/x is positive and x is positive then yes y is definitely positive also
so you have (x,y)=(+,+)
so its in quadrant 1?
yes is what I said :p
hehe sorry
ok @freckles and @Michele_Laino \[Given \cot \theta=\frac{ 3 }{ 10 } find \tan \theta\]
i tried this and couldn't find it
this is the last one
tan and cot are reciprocal functions of one another
it is very simple, since we have: \[\tan \theta = \frac{1}{{\cot \theta }} = \frac{1}{{\frac{3}{{10}}}} = 1 \times \frac{{10}}{3} = ...?\] since we have to compute the first fraction by the inverse of the fraction at denominator
i got 3.3 lol
better is to express the result as a fraction
