1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to determine the quadrant in which the terminal arm of angle θ\theta lies, given different conditions involving trigonometric functions of θ\theta. We need to consider the signs of sine, cosine, and tangent in each quadrant. The quadrants are numbered counterclockwise starting from the upper right:
* Quadrant I: 0<θ<900^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ
* Quadrant II: 90<θ<18090^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ
* Quadrant III: 180<θ<270180^\circ < \theta < 270^\circ
* Quadrant IV: 270<θ<360270^\circ < \theta < 360^\circ
We are given the following conditions:
(a) sinθ>0\sin \theta > 0 and cosθ>0\cos \theta > 0
(b) sinθ<0\sin \theta < 0 and cosθ<0\cos \theta < 0
(c) tanθ>0\tan \theta > 0 and cosθ<0\cos \theta < 0
(d) tanθ<0\tan \theta < 0 and cosθ<0\cos \theta < 0
(e) sinθ<0\sin \theta < 0 and θ[90,270]\theta \in [90^\circ, 270^\circ]
(f) cosθ<0\cos \theta < 0 and 0<θ<1800^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ

2. Solution Steps

We will analyze each case:
(a) sinθ>0\sin \theta > 0 and cosθ>0\cos \theta > 0. Sine is positive in Quadrants I and II. Cosine is positive in Quadrants I and IV. Therefore, both are positive in Quadrant I.
(b) sinθ<0\sin \theta < 0 and cosθ<0\cos \theta < 0. Sine is negative in Quadrants III and IV. Cosine is negative in Quadrants II and III. Therefore, both are negative in Quadrant III.
(c) tanθ>0\tan \theta > 0 and cosθ<0\cos \theta < 0. Tangent is positive in Quadrants I and III. Cosine is negative in Quadrants II and III. Therefore, both conditions are satisfied in Quadrant III.
(d) tanθ<0\tan \theta < 0 and cosθ<0\cos \theta < 0. Tangent is negative in Quadrants II and IV. Cosine is negative in Quadrants II and III. Therefore, both are negative in Quadrant II.
(e) sinθ<0\sin \theta < 0 and θ[90,270]\theta \in [90^\circ, 270^\circ]. Sine is negative in Quadrants III and IV. θ[90,270]\theta \in [90^\circ, 270^\circ] means the angle is in Quadrants II or III. The intersection of these conditions is Quadrant III.
(f) cosθ<0\cos \theta < 0 and 0<θ<1800^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ. Cosine is negative in Quadrants II and III. 0<θ<1800^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ means the angle is in Quadrants I or II. The intersection of these conditions is Quadrant II.

3. Final Answer

(a) Quadrant I
(b) Quadrant III
(c) Quadrant III
(d) Quadrant II
(e) Quadrant III
(f) Quadrant II
