What do you mean by evaluate? What does this have to do with calculus? Could you make this a little more clear, maybe by posting what work you have, even if it is wrong?
 
cos(theta+pi/2)=-sin(theta) and then you should be able to determine what the arcsin will give you

or you could take your 7pi/5 and then add pi/2 and get -sin(theta)
