Question # 1 & 2
Do yourself
Question # 3
In which quadrant are the terminal arms of the angle lie when
(i) sin θ < 0 and cosθ > 0
(ii) cot θ > 0 and cos ecθ > 0
Solutions
(i) Since sin θ < 0 so θ lies in IIIrd or IVth quadrant.
Also cosθ > 0 so θ lies in Ist or IVth quadrant.
 θ lies in IVth quadrant

(ii) Since cot θ > 0 so θ lies in Ist or IIIrd quadrant.

Also cscθ > 0 so θ lies in Ist or IInd quadrant
 θ lies in Ist quadrant.

cosecθ .
Solution
As cot θ is +ive and it is not in Ist quadrant, so it is in IIIrd quadrant
( cot θ +ive in Ist and IIIrd quadrant)

Now 1 + cot 2 θ = csc 2 θ
 cot 2 θ = csc2 θ − 1

 FSc-I / 9.2 - 5

Since tan θ is +ive and terminal arm is not in the IIIrd quadrant, therefore terminal arm
lies in Ist quadrant.
Now sec2 θ = 1 + tan 2 θ
 secθ = ± 1 + tan 2 θ
as terminal arm is in the first quadrant so secθ is +ive.
secθ = 1 + tan 2 θ
