Find six trig function values of #(-2pi)/3#

Explanation:

Call #(-2pi)/3 = x.#
Unit circle and Trig table of special arcs give -->
#sin x = sin (pi/3 - pi) = - sin (pi/3) = - 1/2#
#cos x = cos (pi/3 - pi) = - cos (pi/3) = -sqrt3/2#
#tan x = (-1/2)/(-sqrt3/2) = 1/sqrt3 = sqrt3#
#cot x = 1/sqrt3 = sqrt3/3#
#sec x = 1/(cos) = - 2/sqrt3 = -(2sqrt3)/3#
#csc x = 1/(sin) = -2#
