SIGNS OF TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
• In 1 Quadrant (0 < 𝜃 < 90∘ ), all the trigonometric ratios
are positive.
• In 2 Quadrant (90∘ < 𝜃 < 180∘ ), only sin 𝜃 and cosec 𝜃
are positive.
• In 3 Quadrant (180∘ < 𝜃 < 270∘ ), only tan 𝜃 and cot 𝜃 are
positive.
• In 4 Quadrant (270∘ < 𝜃 < 360∘ ), only cos 𝜃 and sec 𝜃 are
positive.
• The above rule can be called as ASTC Rule, where
A stands for all trigonometric ratios ( 1 quadrant ) and
positive 𝑆 stands for sin 𝜃 which is positive along with its
reciprocal cosec 𝜃 ( 2 Quadrant ) 𝑇 stands for tan 𝜃 which
is positive along with its reciprocal cot 𝜃 ( 3 Quadrant) 𝐶
stands for cos 𝜃 which is positive along with its reciprocal
sec 𝜃 (4 Quad.)

Cot A = cosec 2A + cot 2A
Subtract equation 1 and 2
tan A= cosec 2A - cot 2A
