If tan(θ)>0, then in which quadrants could θ lie?
Added by Jaren L. S.
Step 1
This is because in the first quadrant, both sine and cosine are positive, and since tangent is sine divided by cosine, the result is also positive. In the third quadrant, both sine and cosine are negative, and a negative divided by a negative is a positive. Show more…
