Determine the values of $ an( heta)$ in each quadrant on the unit circle

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Samuel Scott

To determine the values of $\tan(\theta)$ in each quadrant on the unit circle, we use the properties of trigonometric functions:

In Quadrant I, where both sine and cosine are positive:

$ \tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} > 0 $

In Quadrant II, where sine is positive and cosine is negative:

$ \tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} < 0 $

In Quadrant III, where both sine and cosine are negative:

$ \tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} > 0 $

In Quadrant IV, where sine is negative and cosine is positive:

$ \tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} < 0 $

To find the values of $ an( heta)$ in each quadrant, consider the signs of sine and cosine:

$ an( heta) = frac{sin( heta)}{cos( heta)} $

In Quadrant I, both sine and cosine are positive, so:

$ an( heta) > 0 $

In Quadrant II, sine is positive and cosine is negative, so:

$ an( heta) < 0 $

In Quadrant III, both sine and cosine are negative, so:

$ an( heta) > 0 $

In Quadrant IV, sine is negative and cosine is positive, so:

$ an( heta) < 0 $

To find the values of $ an( heta)$ in each quadrant, use:

$ an( heta) = frac{sin( heta)}{cos( heta)} $

Quadrant I: $ an( heta) > 0 $

Quadrant II: $ an( heta) < 0 $

Quadrant III: $ an( heta) > 0 $

Quadrant IV: $ an( heta) < 0 $
