The six trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant and cosecant. This is a first quadrant angle. sine of -17 pi over 3 is equal to square root of 3 over 2, cosine of -17 pi over 3 is equal to 1/2. tan -17 pi over 3 is equal to square root of 3. cosecant-17 pi over 3 is equal to 2/sqrt3, secant of -17 pi over 3 is 2 while cotangent -17 pi over 3 is equal to 1/sqrt 3
