Hi:) just wanted to add that this would be a faster/ possibly easier method to find out if the values are positive/negative.

Since 290deg is in the 4th quadrant represented by C (cosine), and we know that all cosine values in that quadrant are positive, sec 290 will also be positive.

Just offering an alternative method:) hope this helps!
