Which of the functions could be represented by the graph shown?

I have the answer but don't understand why

So wat hints do you have? The answers cant be negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

non of them!

Well, you could try plugging in values and seeing what happens. Since on the graph \[f(\frac{\pi}{2})=0\], if the function gives any other value it can't be that function. \[\sqrt{\sin{\frac{\pi}{2}}}=1\], so it can't be A \[\sin^2(\frac{\pi}{2})=1\], so it can't be B \[\sin{\sqrt{\pi/2}}=0.95002...\], so it can't be C \[\sin((\pi/2)^2)=0.624...\], so it can't be D \[\sin{(\pi/(\pi/2))}=\sin{2}=0.909...\] Is there a "none of the above" answer? This question seems flawed.

3pi/2 doesnt exist on your graph
