determine the sign of the following:
sin 190 degrees
190 is in QII where x and y are negative
r is ALWAYS positive
sin = y/r is negative in QII
------------------------------
tan 135 degrees = y/x is Positive/negative is negative
------------------------------
cos(-50 degrees) = x/r is Positive/positive is positive
--------------------------
