answers to your questions:

If sin θ is positive, and tan θ is negative, then what quadrant will you find the terminal arm?

sine is positive in quadrants 1 and 2.
tangent is negative in quadrants 2 and 4.

the common quadrant is quadrant 2.
that's your answer.

If cos β is positive, and sin β is positive, then what quadrant will you find the terminal arm?

cosine is positive in quadrant 1 and 4.
sine is positive in quadrant 1 and 2.

the common quadrant is quadrant 1.
that's your answer.

If cot α is positive, and csc α is negative, then what quadrant will you find the terminal arm?

cotangent, being the reciprocal of tangent, is positive in quadrant 1 and 3.
cosecant , being the reciprocal of sine, is negative in quadrant 3 and 4.

the common quadrant is quadrant 3.
that's your answer.
