We are asked to find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions for the angle 330-330^\circ.

Step 1: Determine the reference angle

The given angle is 330-330^\circ, which is a negative angle. To find the reference angle, we first need to convert the negative angle into a positive one by adding 360360^\circ:

330+360=30-330^\circ + 360^\circ = 30^\circ

So, the reference angle is 3030^\circ.

Step 2: Determine the quadrant

Since 330-330^\circ is negative, it means we rotate clockwise from the positive x-axis. Adding 360360^\circ placed the terminal side of the angle in the fourth quadrant.

In the fourth quadrant, the sine function is negative, and cosine and tangent functions are positive.

Step 3: Find the exact trigonometric values

We now use the reference angle 3030^\circ to determine the values of the six trigonometric functions. From the unit circle, the exact values for the trigonometric functions at 3030^\circ are:

  • sin(30)=12\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}
  • cos(30)=32\cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
  • tan(30)=13=33\tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}
  • csc(30)=2\csc(30^\circ) = 2
  • sec(30)=23=233\sec(30^\circ) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
  • cot(30)=3\cot(30^\circ) = \sqrt{3}

Step 4: Apply the signs for the fourth quadrant

Since we are in the fourth quadrant, we need to adjust the signs of the functions based on their behavior in that quadrant:

  • sin(θ)\sin(\theta) is negative in the fourth quadrant.
  • cos(θ)\cos(\theta) is positive in the fourth quadrant.
  • tan(θ)\tan(\theta) is negative in the fourth quadrant.

So, the trigonometric values for 330-330^\circ will be:

  • sin(330)=12\sin(-330^\circ) = -\frac{1}{2}
  • cos(330)=32\cos(-330^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
  • tan(330)=13=33\tan(-330^\circ) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}
  • csc(330)=2\csc(-330^\circ) = -2
  • sec(330)=233\sec(-330^\circ) = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
  • cot(330)=3\cot(-330^\circ) = -\sqrt{3}

Final Answer:

  • sin(330)=12\sin(-330^\circ) = -\frac{1}{2}
  • cos(330)=32\cos(-330^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
  • tan(330)=33\tan(-330^\circ) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}
  • csc(330)=2\csc(-330^\circ) = -2
  • sec(330)=233\sec(-330^\circ) = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
  • cot(330)=3\cot(-330^\circ) = -\sqrt{3}
