Question
**Problem 4:** If \( \sec(t) = -3 \) and \( \sin(t) < 0 \), find the value of each of the six trigonometric functions of \( t \). 

**Explanation:** You are given the secant and sine conditions for an angle \( t \). Based on these, determine the values of the sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions for \( t \). 

Since \( \sec(t) = -3 \), then \( \cos(t) = -\frac{1}{3} \). Use the Pythagorean identity and the quadrant information to find the other trigonometric functions. Given \( \sin(t) < 0 \), \( t \) is in the third quadrant where both sine and cosine are negative.
