- III
- I
- IV
- II
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. II
Quadrant II (90° < θ < 180°): sin > 0, cos < 0, tan < 0. ASTC rule: All in I, Sin in II, Tan in III, Cos in IV (positive).

sin(A + B) equals:
- cosA cosB - sinA sinB
- sinA cosB - cosA sinB
- sinA cosB + cosA sinB
- sinA + sinB
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. sinA cosB + cosA sinB
**Compound angle formula:** sin(A + B) = sinA cosB + cosA sinB.
(And sin(A - B) = sinA cosB - cosA sinB.)
If tan θ = 1/2 (acute), find sin 2θ:
- 1/5
- 3/5
- 4/5
- 2/5
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. 4/5
sin 2θ = 2 sinθ cosθ.
From tan = 1/2, draw right triangle: opp=1, adj=2, hyp=√5. sinθ = 1/√5, cosθ = 2/√5. So sin 2θ = 2(1/√5)(2/√5) = 4/5.
