What goes in quadrant 1?
(+,+) All Pythagorean identities are positive
What goes in quadrant 2?
(-,+) All Pythagorean identities are negative except sin, csc A
What goes in quadrant 3?
(-,-) All Pythagorean identities are negative except tan, cot T
What goes in quadrant 4?
(+,-)All Pythagorean identities are negative except cos, sec C
How can I remember where the six functions are positive ?
C (COS, Q4)
A (ALL OF THEM Q1)
S (SIN, Q2)
T (TAN, Q3)

Characteristics of y=sinx and y=cosx
domain: all real numbers
range: -1 <= y <= 1
amplitude: half the difference of the maximum M and minimum m values : a=1/2 (M-m)
periodic: repeating pattern-cycle,
y=sinx : 0, pi, 2pi, 3pi, 4pi …
y=cosx : 0, pi/2, 3pi/2, 5pi/2, 7pi/2, 9pi/2, …
