Graph tan(t)>0sin(t)<0
Problem
Solution
Analyze the first condition
tan(t)>0 The tangent function is positive in the first quadrant (0<t<π/2 and the third quadrant (π<t<(3*π)/2 .Analyze the second condition
sin(t)<0 The sine function is negative in the third quadrant (π<t<(3*π)/2 and the fourth quadrant ((3*π)/2<t<2*π .Find the intersection of the two conditions. The only quadrant where both
tan(t)>0 andsin(t)<0 are true is the third quadrant.Identify the interval for the solution. In terms of radians within one rotation, the solution is the set of all
t such thatπ<t<(3*π)/2 Generalize the solution for all rotations. Since the trigonometric functions are periodic, the solution set is the union of intervals
(π+2*k*π,(3*π)/2+2*k*π) for any integerk
