Answer

$\frac{2\sqrt 3}{3}$

Work Step by Step

To find exact value of $\sec (-330)^{\circ}$, let's find its reference angle first. As $ (-330)^{\circ}$ terminates in quadrant I, The reference angle = $ 360^{\circ} - 330^{\circ} $ = $30^{\circ}$ As $ (-330)^{\circ}$ terminates in quadrant I, its $\sec$ will be positive. Therefore by reference angle theorem- $\sec (-330)^{\circ}$ = $\sec 30^{\circ}$ = $\frac{2}{\sqrt 3}$ = $\frac{2\sqrt 3}{3}$
