#sin ((7pi)/.6))=-1/2, cos ((7pi)/6)= -sqrt3/2 and tan ((7pi)/6)=1/sqrt3#.
The recprocals, #csc ((7pi)/.6))=-2, sec ((7pi)/6)= -2/sqrt3 and cot ((7pi)/6)=sqrt3#...

Explanation:

In the third quadrant, both sine and cosine are negative and the tangent is positive.

#7pi/6# direction is in the third quadrant.

For any of the six functions #f(theta)#, #f(pi+theta)=+-f(theta) and 7pi/6=pi+pi/6#.

So, in every case it is #+-f(pi/6)#.
Choose appropriate sign and prefix to #f(pi/6)#. ..
