Answer

\(\boxed{\text{The exact value of } s \text{ in the given interval that has the given circular function value is } \frac{7\pi}{6} \text{ radians.}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The tangent function is positive in the first and third quadrants. The interval given, \([\pi, \frac{3 \pi}{2}]\), is in the third quadrant.

Step 2 :The value of \(\tan s=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\) corresponds to an angle of \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) in the first quadrant.

Step 3 :However, since we are in the third quadrant, we need to add \(\pi\) to this angle to get the corresponding angle in the third quadrant.

Step 4 :\(\text{first_quadrant_angle} = \frac{\pi}{6}\)

Step 5 :\(\text{third_quadrant_angle} = \frac{7\pi}{6}\)

Step 6 :\(\boxed{\text{The exact value of } s \text{ in the given interval that has the given circular function value is } \frac{7\pi}{6} \text{ radians.}}\)
