The graph of the function y = (sin x)^2 has the same amplitude 1, and the same period 2pi, as the graph of the function y = sin x. The only difference between them is that the part of the graph of y = sin x which is below the x-axis is reflected above x axis.

In order to graph the function y = (sin x)^2, we need to find the values of (x, y) for the five key points, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 2pi.

Values of (x, y) on y = (sin x)^2:

x = 0, y = 0

x = pi/2, y = 1

x = pi, y = 0

x = 3pi/2, y = 1

x = 2pi, y = 0

Plot these five key points and connect them with a smooth curve and graph one complete cycle of the given function.

What is sine squared?

Answer 1 Put simply, sine squared is sinX x sinX. However, sine is a function, so the real question must be 'what is sinx squared' or 'what is sin squared x': 'Sin(x) squared' would be sin(x^2), i.e. the 'x' is squared before performing the function sin. 'Sin squared x' would be sin^2(x) i.e. sin squared times sin squared: sin(x) x sin(x). This can also be written as (sinx)^2 but means exactly the same. Answer 2 Sine squared is sin^2(x). If the power was placed like this sin(x)^2, then the X is what is being squared. If it's sin^2(x) it's telling you they want sin(x) times sin(x).


What does the graph of sin squared x look like?

cos(2x) = 1 - 2(sin(x)^2), so sin(x)^2 = 1/2 - 1/2*cos(2x).


What is sin squared x minus cos squared x?

Sin squared, cos squared...you removed the x in the equation.


Is 2 sin squared x the same as 2 sin x?

No.


What is Sin squared x - Cos squared x divided by 1 - Tan squared x equals cos squared x?

22


How do you differentiate sin squared x plus cos squared x?

The deriviative of sin2 x + cos2 x is 2 cos x - 2 sin x


What does 1 - cos squared equal?

Note that an angle should always be specified - for example, 1 - cos square x. Due to the Pythagorean formula, this can be simplified as sin square x. Note that sin square x is a shortcut of (sin x) squared.


Does cos squared x over sin squared x equal cot squared x?

Yes. Except where sin x = 0, because then you would be dividing by zero so the quotient is undefined.


How do you solve 2 sin squared x?

Do sin(x), square it, and then multiply it by two.


What does cos squared x - Sin squared x equal?

2 x cosine squared x -1 which also equals cos (2x)


How do you graph x squared plus y squared equals 36?

The graph is a circle with a radius of 6, centered at the origin.


What is sin squared x equal to?

sin x times sin x. or 1/cosec2(x) or 1 - cos2(x) or tan2(x)*cos2(x) etc, etc.
