I recommend using a graphing calculator. If you don't have something like a TI83, then you can use a free graphing website like desmos https://www.desmos.com/calculator

i have one, i can graph them, i just really need help with the domain and range.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

do you see how the graph extends infinitely in both directions in the horizontal (x axis) direction?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

What that tells us is that the domain is the set of all real numbers. You can plug in any number you want for x and it's a valid input.

anonymous · Answer

yes, it suppose to look wavy too right? since i graph it in radian?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yes it goes up and down

anonymous · Answer

okay good. so the domain would just be all real numbers?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

correct

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

how about the range?

anonymous · Answer

samething?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you sure? every y value is a possible output?

anonymous · Answer

wait, will it be (0,5) since that the only whole y number i got?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

look at the lowest and highest points. What are the y coordinates of those points?

anonymous · Answer

im lost at this point, the X values go on forever, how do i find the highest and lowests?

here is the sine curve
