In which quadrant will theta lie if sin>0 and cos<0?
---
sin is positive in I and II
cos is negative in II and III
----
Both conditions are met in Quadrant II
----------------------------------------------
2) Find sin(theta) if the terminal side of theta lies along the line of y=-2x in quadrant 2?
Let x = -1, then y = 2
---
Then r = sqrt[1^2+2^2] = sqrt(5)
---
The sin(theta) = y/r = 2/sqrt(5)
----------------------------------------------
3)If cot(theta)= 50 what would tan(theta) be?
tan(theta) = 1/[cot(theta)] = 1/50 = 0.02
