Answer

$s = \displaystyle \frac{7\pi}{4}$

Work Step by Step

For any real number $s$ represented by a directed arc on the unit circle, $\sin s=y\quad \cos s=x \quad \displaystyle \tan s=\frac{y}{x} (x\neq 0)$ Use Figure 13 on page 111. ---------------- In the interval $[\displaystyle \frac{3\pi}{2},2\pi]$, (quadrant IV), we search for a point (x,y) on the unit circle, such that $\displaystyle \frac{y}{x}=-1$ $(\displaystyle \tan s=\frac{y}{x})$ We find the point$:$ $(\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2},-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) \quad $assigned to $315^{o}$, or $\displaystyle \frac{7\pi}{4}$ rad. $\displaystyle \tan\frac{7\pi}{4}=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}=-1$ $s = \displaystyle \frac{7\pi}{4}$
