Note

In trigonometric identities, θ can be an angle in degrees, an angle in radians, a real number, or a variable.

If and θ is in quadrant II, find each function

value.

Caution

To avoid a common error, when taking the square root, be sure to choose the sign based on the quadrant of θ and the function being evaluated.
