There exist an abbreviation that ALL - S - T - C where all trigonometric functions in first quandrant are positive. S, T, and C are the first letters of the trigonometric functions that are positive in quadrant 2, 3, and 4, respectively. This also means that in the same quadrant, their reciprocals are also positive. For the given above, it is in Quadrant 3 where T is positive and cosine is negative.
