Signs of Trigonometric Functions
 Signs of trigonometric functions can find if quadrant of θ
is known
 All trigonometric functions are positive in quadrant І.
 Trigonometric functions in quadrant ІІ have negative x-
coordinate and positive y-coordinate.
 Trigonometric functions in quadrant ІІІ have negative x-
coordinate and negative y-coordinate.

 Trigonometric functions in quadrant ІV have positive x-
coordinate and negative y-coordinate.
sin (-θ) = -sin θ ; cosec (-θ) = -cosec θ
cos (-θ) = cos θ ; sec (-θ) = sec θ
tan (-θ) = -tan θ ; cot (-θ) = -cot θ
