∵ cos 0 ∵ The graph repeats itself every 180°.
29 ∴ The period of the function y = f(x) is 180°.
∴ θ lies in quadrant II or quadrant III.
∵ tan θ > 0
7. Answer: B
∴ θ lies in quadrant I or quadrant III.
Based on the above results, θ should lie in quadrant III. ∵ 0 cos 2 x 1
Let P(x, y) be a point on the terminal side of θ and OP = r. 5
