Question

what signs are \\(\cos(-80^{\circ})\\) and \\(\tan(-80^{\circ})\\)?\
\\(\bigcirc\\) they are both positive.\
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(\cos(-80^{\circ}) > 0\\) and \\(\tan(-80^{\circ}) < 0\\)\
\\(\bigcirc\\) they are both negative.\
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(\cos(-80^{\circ}) < 0\\) and \\(\tan(-80^{\circ}) > 0\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the quadrant of \(-80^{\circ}\)

\(-80^{\circ}\) is in the fourth quadrant.

Step2: Recall the sign of trigonometric functions in the fourth quadrant

In the fourth quadrant, \(\cos\theta>0\) and \(\tan\theta < 0\) (since \(\tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\) and \(\sin\theta<0\) in the fourth quadrant).

Answer:

\(\cos(- 80^{\circ})>0\) and \(\tan(-80^{\circ})<0\)
