1. The tangent function is negative in quadrant IV .

tan  = y /x     x is positive, y is negative in Q4....so.....true

 

2. The cotangent function is positive in quadrant III .

cot  = x/y       x,y are both positive here...so....true

 

3. The cosine function is positive in quadrant I .

All trig functions are positive in Q1

 

4.The cosecant function is positive in quadrant III .

csc  = r/y    y is negative here....r is always positive....so....false

 

5. The sine function is negative in quadrant II .

sine  = y /r    y,r  are positve in Q2....so....false
