Seems like you need to study up on the unit circle.

 

Here is a play page.

Its great if you already understand what you are looking at but maybe not so great if you don't.

 

https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/unit-circle.html

 

 

This video looks really good.   I have only watch about half but she sweemed to be explaining it really well.

 

https://online.clickview.com.au/exchange/channels/3010412/maths-with-heather-davis/playlists/3014610/trigonometry/videos/928592/lesson-12-angles-of-any-magnitude

 

 

summarizing.

If an angle is drawn on the unit circle as shown in the video, the hypotenuse of any triangle will be 1.

So 

cos of the angle is the x value on the circumference of the unit circle     So cos will be positive in the 1st and 4th quadrants

sin of the angle is the y value on the circumference of the unit circle      So sin will be positive in the  1st and 2nd quadrants

tan of the angle is the y value divided by the x value on the circumference of the unit circle      So tan will be positive in the  1st and 3rd quadrants

 

A sentance to help you with this is     ALL    Stations   To    Central

All trig values are positive for angles less than 90 degrees, that is angles in the 1st quadrant

Sin (but not cos or tan) will be positive for all angles in the 2nd quadrant,  that is angles between 90 and 180 degrees

Tan is positive in the 3rd quadrant

Cos is positive in the 4th quadrant.

Hi Juriemajic,

I made some errors, I will fix them in red.

 

I found one of my first answer was erraneous but for the second set of answers your given answers were not both correct. 

 

(CosX + 2SinX)(3Sin2X-1)=0

If the product of two terms is 0 then one or the other or both must equal zero.

so

 

 

(1)     (CosX + 2SinX)=0           or      (2)      (3sin 2x-1)=0

 

 

(1)
\(cos\; x=-2sin\;x\\ -0.5 = tan\;x \\ \text{2nd }or \textcolor{red}{\;\;4th\;\; quad}\\ x = 180-atan(0.5)+360n \qquad or \qquad \textcolor{red}{x=360-atan(0.5)+360n}\\ x = 180-26.565+360n \qquad or \qquad \textcolor{red}{x=-26.565+360n}\\ \text{combining them I get}\\ \textcolor{red}{ x=-26.565+180n}\)

 

I graphed this to check it was correct

 

 

I didn't find any mistakes in my second answer and I have verified it with the graph.

 

\(3Sin\;2x-1=0\\ sin\;2x=\frac{1}{3}\\ \text{1st or 2nd quad}\\ \qquad asin\;\frac{1}{3}=19.471^o\\ \\~\\ 2x=19.471+360n \qquad or \qquad 2x=180-19.471+360n\\ 2x=19.471+360n \qquad or \qquad 2x=160.529+360n\\ x=9.736+180n \qquad or \qquad x=80.265+180n\\ \)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Latex 1

cos\; x=-2sin\;x\\ -0.5 = tan\;x \\
 \text{2nd }or \textcolor{red}{\;\;4th\;\; quad}\\ 

x = 180-atan(0.5)+360n \qquad or \qquad \textcolor{red}{x=360-atan(0.5)+360n}\\

 x = 180-26.565+360n \qquad or \qquad \textcolor{red}{x=-26.565+360n}\\
\text{combining them I get}\\
\textcolor{red}{ x=-26.565+180n}

 

Latex2

3Sin\;2x-1=0\\ sin\;2x=\frac{1}{3}\\ \text{1st or 2nd quad}\\ \qquad asin\;\frac{1}{3}=19.471^o\\ \\~\\ 2x=19.471+360n \qquad or \qquad 2x=180-19.471+360n\\ 2x=19.471+360n \qquad or \qquad 2x=160.529+360n\\ x=9.736+180n \qquad or \qquad x=80.265+180n\\
