Solution Steps

Step 1: Evaluate \(\sin\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\)

The sine function is odd, meaning \(\sin(-x) = -\sin(x)\). Therefore: \[ \sin\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = -\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right). \] We know that \(\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{1}{2}\), so: \[ \sin\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = -\frac{1}{2}. \]

Step 2: Evaluate \(\cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\)

The cosine function is even, meaning \(\cos(-x) = \cos(x)\). Therefore: \[ \cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right). \] We know that \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\), so: \[ \cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}. \]

Step 3: Evaluate \(\tan\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\)

The tangent function is odd, meaning \(\tan(-x) = -\tan(x)\). Therefore: \[ \tan\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = -\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right). \] We know that \(\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\), so: \[ \tan\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}. \]

Final Answer

\(\sin\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \boxed{-\frac{1}{2}}\)

\(\cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \boxed{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\)

\(\tan\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \boxed{-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}\)
