question?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

If tan(theta)>0 and sec(theta)<0 then theta is in which quadrant?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Ever heard of CAST?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

I have not

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

But I was thinking if tan = sin/cos then sin and cos were are not negative

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

or they are both negative or both positive?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

|dw:1443835637183:dw| It's like a quick way to see where the ratios are positive and negative, A represents all positive in that quadrant, S is sin theta, C is cos theta, and T is tan theta. So they are positive in those quadrants where the letter is, and negative in the rest.

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

so it would be the 3rd quadrant then?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

since Tan is positive in quadrant 3 ?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yes, exactly!
