The four quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate system. The axes of a two-dimensional Cartesian system divide the plane into four infinite regions, called quadrants, each bounded by two half-axes. The axes themselves are, in general, not part of the respective quadrants.
Note: solving for ′ returns the resultant angle in the first quadrant (< <). To find , one must refer to the original Cartesian coordinate, determine the quadrant in which lies (for example, (3,−3) [Cartesian] lies in QIV), then use the following to solve for :
In geometry, a Cartesian coordinate system (UK: / k ɑːr ˈ t iː zj ə n /, US: / k ɑːr ˈ t iː ʒ ə n /) in a plane is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely by a pair of real numbers called coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular oriented lines, called coordinate lines ...
Cartesian plane with marked points (signed ordered pairs of coordinates). For any point, the abscissa is the first value (x coordinate), and the ordinate is the second value (y coordinate). In mathematics , the abscissa ( / æ b ˈ s ɪ s . ə / ; plural abscissae or abscissas ) and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate ...

Illustration of a Cartesian coordinate plane. Four points are marked and labeled with their coordinates: (2,3) in green, (−3,1) in red, (−1.5,−2.5) in blue, and the origin (0,0) in purple. In analytic geometry, the plane is given a coordinate system, by which every point has a pair of real number coordinates.
Thus we can write the trace itself as 2w 2 + 2w 2 − 1; and from the previous version of the matrix we see that the diagonal entries themselves have the same form: 2x 2 + 2w 2 − 1, 2y 2 + 2w 2 − 1, and 2z 2 + 2w 2 − 1. So we can easily compare the magnitudes of all four quaternion components using the matrix diagonal.
where each ε i is +1 or −1. Similarly, an open orthant in R n is a subset defined by a system of strict inequalities ε 1 x 1 > 0 ε 2 x 2 > 0 · · · ε n x n > 0, where each ε i is +1 or −1. By dimension: In one dimension, an orthant is a ray. In two dimensions, an orthant is a quadrant.
