Quadrant I

Work Step by Step

1.$\cos\theta=\frac{x}{r}$ If cosine is positive, that means x must be positive (since r is always positive) That can be only I and IV quadrants 2.$\sin\theta=\frac{y}{r}$ If sine is positive, that means y must be positive (since r is always positive) That can be only I and II quadrants 3. For both sine and cosine to be positive, we must be in Quadrant I
