Answer

$sin(t) =\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$, $cos(t) =-\frac{1}{2}$, $tan(t) =-\sqrt 3$, $cot(t) =-\frac{\sqrt 3}{3}$, $sec(t) =-2$, $csc(t) =\frac{2\sqrt 3}{3}$.

Work Step by Step

Given $t=\frac{8\pi}{3}=2\pi+\frac{2\pi}{3}$, the terminal side is in quadrant II and $t_0=\frac{\pi}{3}$ to the $-x$-axis , we have: $sin(t)=sin(t_0)=\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$, $cos(t)=-cos(t_0)=-\frac{1}{2}$, $tan(t)=-tan(t_0)=-\sqrt 3$, $cot(t)=-cot(t_0)=-\frac{\sqrt 3}{3}$, $sec(t)=-sec(t_0)=-2$, $csc(t)=csc(t_0)=\frac{2\sqrt 3}{3}$.
