a)  csc θ > 0   and  cos θ < 0

 

csc is related to the sine.....so  the sine θ > 0   in Q1, Q2

And the cos θ < 0   in  Q2  and Q3

So.....the intersection of these is   Q2  ⇒  ( pi/2, pi)

 

b )   tan θ < 0   and  secθ > 0

 

tan θ < 0   in Q2 , Q4

An sec is related  to the cos.....so  cos θ > 0  in Q1 , Q4

So.....the intersection of these is  Q4 ⇒  (3pi/2, 2pi )
