The problem asks us to determine the quadrant in which the terminal arm of angle $\theta$ lies, given different conditions involving trigonometric functions of $\theta$. 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: $0^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ$ * Quadrant II: $90^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ$ * Quadrant III: $180^\circ < \theta < 270^\circ$ * Quadrant IV: $270^\circ < \theta < 360^\circ$ We are given the following conditions: (a) $\sin \theta > 0$ and $\cos \theta > 0$ (b) $\sin \theta < 0$ and $\cos \theta < 0$ (c) $\tan \theta > 0$ and $\cos \theta < 0$ (d) $\tan \theta < 0$ and $\cos \theta < 0$ (e) $\sin \theta < 0$ and $\theta \in [90^\circ, 270^\circ]$ (f) $\cos \theta < 0$ and $0^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ$

1. Problem Description
The problem asks us to determine the quadrant in which the terminal arm of angle lies, given different conditions involving trigonometric functions of . 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:
* Quadrant II:
* Quadrant III:
* Quadrant IV:
We are given the following conditions:
(a) and
(b) and
(c) and
(d) and
(e) and
(f) and
2. Solution Steps
We will analyze each case:
(a) and . Sine is positive in Quadrants I and II. Cosine is positive in Quadrants I and IV. Therefore, both are positive in Quadrant I.
(b) and . Sine is negative in Quadrants III and IV. Cosine is negative in Quadrants II and III. Therefore, both are negative in Quadrant III.
(c) and . 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) and . Tangent is negative in Quadrants II and IV. Cosine is negative in Quadrants II and III. Therefore, both are negative in Quadrant II.
(e) and . Sine is negative in Quadrants III and IV. means the angle is in Quadrants II or III. The intersection of these conditions is Quadrant III.
(f) and . Cosine is negative in Quadrants II and III. 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
