If (\theta) is in the fourth quadrant, what are the signs of (\sec \theta) and (\cosec \theta)?
Advertisement
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (\sec \theta) positive and (\cosec \theta) negative
In the fourth quadrant, (\cos \theta) is positive and (\sin \theta) is negative, so their reciprocals have the same signs. In exams decide the signs of basic functions first.
