You problem is not complete, I assume the problem is .
Let’s set and
,
so we have: , and
.
And the problem is to calculate
Since ,
is in quadrant 1 or 2; also since
,
is in quadrant 2 or 3.
- if
in quadrant 1,
; if
in quadrant 2,
;
- if
in quadrant 2,
; if
in quadrant 3,
.
so, if in quadrant 1,
in quadrant 2: result -1;
if in quadrant 1,
in quadrant 3: result 119/169;
if in quadrant 2,
in quadrant 2: result -119/169;
if in quadrant 2,
in quadrant 3: result 1.
