**Problem: Determine the Quadrant**

Name the quadrant in which the angle \( \theta \) lies.

Given:
\[ \cos \theta > 0, \cot \theta < 0 \]

Choose the correct answer below:

- ○ Quadrant IV
- ○ Quadrant II
- ○ Quadrant III
- ○ Quadrant I

**Explanation:**

In the Cartesian coordinate system, the four quadrants are defined as follows:

- **Quadrant I**: All trigonometric ratios are positive.
- **Quadrant II**: Sine is positive; cosine and tangent are negative.
- **Quadrant III**: Tangent is positive; sine and cosine are negative.
- **Quadrant IV**: Cosine is positive; sine and tangent are negative.

To find the correct quadrant for \( \theta \):
- \( \cos \theta > 0 \) indicates either Quadrant I or IV.
- \( \cot \theta < 0 \) (since \( \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} \)), the tangent is negative, which indicates Quadrant IV.

Thus, the angle \( \theta \) lies in **Quadrant IV**.
