The correct Answer is:
To determine which trigonometric ratios are positive for the angles \( 210^\circ \) and \( -405^\circ \), we will analyze each angle based on the unit circle and the properties of trigonometric functions in different quadrants. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze the angle \( 210^\circ \)** 1. **Locate \( 210^\circ \) on the unit circle:** - The angle \( 210^\circ \) is in the third quadrant (between \( 180^\circ \) and \( 270^\circ \)). 2. **Identify the positive trigonometric ratios in the third quadrant:** - In the third quadrant, the only positive trigonometric ratios are: - Tangent (\( \tan \)) - Cotangent (\( \cot \)) **Conclusion for \( 210^\circ \):** - The positive trigonometric ratios are \( \tan \) and \( \cot \). --- **Step 2: Analyze the angle \( -405^\circ \)** 1. **Convert \( -405^\circ \) to a positive angle:** - To find the equivalent positive angle, we can add \( 360^\circ \) to \( -405^\circ \): \[ -405^\circ + 360^\circ = -45^\circ \] - Adding \( 360^\circ \) again gives: \[ -45^\circ + 360^\circ = 315^\circ \] - Therefore, \( -405^\circ \) is equivalent to \( 315^\circ \). 2. **Locate \( 315^\circ \) on the unit circle:** - The angle \( 315^\circ \) is in the fourth quadrant (between \( 270^\circ \) and \( 360^\circ \)). 3. **Identify the positive trigonometric ratios in the fourth quadrant:** - In the fourth quadrant, the only positive trigonometric ratios are: - Cosine (\( \cos \)) - Secant (\( \sec \)) **Conclusion for \( -405^\circ \):** - The positive trigonometric ratios are \( \cos \) and \( \sec \). --- ### Final Answers: - For \( 210^\circ \): Positive ratios are \( \tan \) and \( \cot \). - For \( -405^\circ \): Positive ratios are \( \cos \) and \( \sec \). ---
