Solution

Step 1 :The angle \(\frac{-5 \pi}{4}\) is equivalent to \(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\) in the unit circle because they are coterminal angles (angles that share the same terminal side).

Step 2 :The point on the unit circle that corresponds to the angle \(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\) is \(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\).

Step 3 :Therefore, the cosine of the angle is \(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\) and the sine of the angle is \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\).

Step 4 :The exact value of \(\sin(\theta)\) is \(\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}\) and the exact value of \(\cos(\theta)\) is \(\boxed{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}\).
