Answer:

  • sin = -√3/2
  • cos = -1/2
  • tan = √3
  • sec = -2
  • csc = (-2/3)√3
  • cot = (√3)/3

Explanation:

See the attached picture for a drawing of the angle and its terminal point coordinates. Those are (cos(4π/3), sin(4π/3)), so we have the following trig function values:

sin(4π/3) = -√3/2

cos(4π/3) = -1/2

tan(4π/3) = sin/cos = √3

sec(4π/3) = 1/cos = -2

csc(4π/3) = 1/sin = -(2√3)/3

cot(4π/3) = 1/tan = (√3)/3

Additional comment

It helps to know that 1/√a = (√a)/a. This lets you write the ratios with a rational denominator in each case.
