Capitolo 2, Problema 44
Concept Check Suppose that the point (x, y) is in the indicated quadrant. Determine whether the given ratio is positive or negative. Recall that r = √(x² + y²) .(Hint: Drawing a sketch may help.) III , r/y
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall that the point (x, y) lies in Quadrant III, where both x and y coordinates are negative. This means x < 0 and y < 0 in this quadrant.
Remember the definition of r, which is the distance from the origin to the point (x, y), given by the formula \(r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\). Since it is a distance, r is always positive regardless of the quadrant.
The ratio given is \(\frac{r}{y}\). Since r is positive and y is negative in Quadrant III, the numerator is positive and the denominator is negative.
When dividing a positive number by a negative number, the result is negative. Therefore, the ratio \(\frac{r}{y}\) will be negative in Quadrant III.
To confirm your understanding, sketch the coordinate plane, plot a point in Quadrant III, and visually verify the signs of x, y, and r, then consider the ratio \(\frac{r}{y}\).

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Coordinate Plane Quadrants
The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants, each with specific signs for x and y coordinates. In Quadrant III, both x and y values are negative. Understanding the sign of coordinates in each quadrant helps determine the sign of expressions involving x and y.

Quadratic Formula
Distance Formula and Radius r
The radius r is defined as r = √(x² + y²), representing the distance from the origin to the point (x, y). Since it is a distance, r is always positive regardless of the quadrant. This property is crucial when analyzing ratios involving r.

Sign of Ratios Involving Coordinates
When evaluating the sign of a ratio like r/y, consider the signs of numerator and denominator separately. Since r is positive and y is negative in Quadrant III, the ratio r/y will be negative. This approach helps determine the positivity or negativity of trigonometric ratios.
