What are Quadrant and Sign

A quadrant is a section of a two-dimensional plane that is divided by Cartesian coordinates into four segments. Each quadrant represents one of four possible divisions where the signs of the x and y coordinates are either both positive, both negative, or one of each, depending on the specific quadrant.

In the context of trigonometry and the unit circle, a sign refers to the sine function, which outputs the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle. The sign can also indicate the positivity or negativity of an angle's sine value.
