    A linear function is added to a periodic sine function. The graph does not have an amplitude because as the linear function increases without bound the combined function h(x)=x+sinx h(x)=x+sinx will increase without bound as well. The graph is bounded between the graphs of y=x+1 y=x+1 and y=x-1 y=x-1 because sine oscillates between −1 and 1.

    The function y=sinx y=sinx is one-to-one on [ π 2 , π 2 ]; [ π 2 , π 2 ]; thus, this interval is the range of the inverse function of y=sinx, y=sinx, f(x)= sin 1 x. f(x)= sin 1 x. The function y=cosx y=cosx is one-to-one on [ 0,π ]; [ 0,π ]; thus, this interval is the range of the inverse function of y=cosx,f(x)= cos 1 x. y=cosx,f(x)= cos 1 x.

    π 6 π 6 is the radian measure of an angle between π 2 π 2 and π 2 π 2 whose sine is 0.5.

    5.

    In order for any function to have an inverse, the function must be one-to-one and must pass the horizontal line test. The regular sine function is not one-to-one unless its domain is restricted in some way. Mathematicians have agreed to restrict the sine function to the interval [ π 2 , π 2 ] [ π 2 , π 2 ] so that it is one-to-one and possesses an inverse.
