Which quarters of the unit circle satisfy the trigonometric inequality tan theta is less than or equal to 0 ? Assume that theta is the angle made by the positive x-axis and a ray from the origin
C the top left and bottom right quarters
Which half of the unit circle satisfies the trig inequality cos theta is greater than or equal to 0? Assume that theta is the angle made by the positive x-axis and a ray from the origin
C: the right half
What is the solution to the trig inequality 2-3 csc(x) > 8 over the interval 0 is less than or equal to x which is less than or equal to 2pi radians?

Carl and Shelley are solving trig inequalites
NOT A: the points of intersection of Carl's graph have different x-coordinated than the points of intersection of Shelley's graph and different y-coordinates
Tracey is solving a trig inequality question
NOT D: there are an infinite number of solutions because the graph of the equation y= 2sin^2 (x) + cos(2x)-2 is the same as the graph of the equation y= -1, so y= 2sin^2 (x) -2 is never below y= -1
