1. **Problem:** Find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions for the angle $\frac{7\pi}{4}$ radians.
2. **Recall the six trigonometric functions:**
- $\sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- $\cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- $\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$
- $\csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta}$
- $\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}$
- $\cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta}$
3. **Locate the angle $\frac{7\pi}{4}$:**
- $\frac{7\pi}{4} = 2\pi - \frac{\pi}{4}$, so it is in the fourth quadrant.
- Reference angle is $\frac{\pi}{4}$.
4. **Use known values for $\frac{\pi}{4}$:**
- $\sin \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
- $\cos \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
- $\tan \frac{\pi}{4} = 1$
5. **Apply signs in the fourth quadrant:**
- $\sin$ is negative
- $\cos$ is positive
- $\tan$ is negative
6. **Calculate each function:**
$$\sin \frac{7\pi}{4} = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
$$\cos \frac{7\pi}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
$$\tan \frac{7\pi}{4} = -1$$
$$\csc \frac{7\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\sin \frac{7\pi}{4}} = \frac{1}{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = -\sqrt{2}$$
$$\sec \frac{7\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\cos \frac{7\pi}{4}} = \frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}$$
$$\cot \frac{7\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\tan \frac{7\pi}{4}} = \frac{1}{-1} = -1$$
**Final answers:**
$$\sin \frac{7\pi}{4} = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \quad \cos \frac{7\pi}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \quad \tan \frac{7\pi}{4} = -1,$$
$$\csc \frac{7\pi}{4} = -\sqrt{2}, \quad \sec \frac{7\pi}{4} = \sqrt{2}, \quad \cot \frac{7\pi}{4} = -1.$$
