I can help if I see the problem
Answer:
Derived from the Pythagorean Theorem, the distance formula is used to find the distance between two points in the plane. The Pythagorean Theorem,
a
2
+
b
2
=
c
2
, is based on a right triangle where a and b are the lengths of the legs adjacent to the right angle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse. The relationship of sides

x
2
−
x
1
|
and
|
y
2
−
y
1
|
to side d is the same as that of sides a and b to side c. We use the absolute value symbol to indicate that the length is a positive number because the absolute value of any number is positive. (For example,
|
−
3
|
=
3
. ) The symbols
|
x
2
−
x
1
|
and
|
y
2
−
y
1
|
indicate that the lengths of the sides of the triangle are positive. To find the length c, take the square root of both sides of the Pythagorean Theorem.

It follows that the distance formula is given as
d

=
(
x

x

)

(
y

−
y

)

→
d
=
√
(
x

−
x

)
2
+
(
y

−
y

)

We do not have to use the absolute value symbols in this definition because any number squared is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Yes all six trig functions exist for this point in quadrant III. The only time you'll run into problems is when either x = 0 or y = 0, due to division by zero errors. For instance, if x = 0, then tan(t) = sin(t)/cos(t) will have cos(t) = 0, as x = cos(t). you cannot have zero in the denominator. Since neither coordinate is zero, we don't have such problems.

(b) The following functions are positive in quadrant III:
tangent, cotangent
The following functions are negative in quadrant III
cosine, sine, secant, cosecant
A short explanation is that x = cos(t) and y = sin(t). The x and y coordinates are negative in quadrant III, so both sine and cosine are negative. Their reciprocal functions secant and cosecant are negative here as well. Combining sine and cosine to get tan = sin/cos, we see that the negatives cancel which is why tangent is positive here. Cotangent is also positive for similar reasons.
