Question 2 Maharashtra Board Solution
State the signs of: i. tan 380° ii. cot 230° iii 468°
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
1. 380° = 360° + 20° ∴ 380° and 20° are co-terminal angles. Since 0° < 20° <90°0, 20° lies in the l quadrant. ∴ 380° lies in the 1st quadrant, ∴ tan 380° is positive.

ii. Since, 180° <230° <270°
∴ 230° lies in the 3rd quadrant.
∴ cot 230° is positive.

iii. 468° = 360°+108°
∴ 468° and 108° are co-terminal angles.
Since 90° < 108° < 180°,
108° lies in the 2nd quadrant.
∴ 468° lies in the 2nd quadrant.
∴ sec 468° is negative.
