why does tanθ = 1/2 > 0 and sin θ" mean that it lies in quadrant 3
Given one value of a trigonometric function, and the sign of another, find the remaining ones
Given that tanθ = 1/2 > 0 and sin θ < 0 , the point P = (x,y) that corresponds to θ , lies in quadrant 3
attempted to draw a picture, using a circle with the four quadrants as is the next step for the problem, but need to know,
need to ask a question about just that first part of what's in the book for this problem, so the new question about the original problem in the book is, how does that information indicate that the point that corresponds to θ lies in quadrant 3 ? (More specifically, how does "Given that tanθ = 1/2 > 0 and sin θ < 0" mean that it lies in quadrant 3, what indicates that?
Can anyone go into more detail about why this is? Just want a real person because the book puts it in a fashion that is not human so to speak
