I assume you are referring to the sine function of mathematics. That function is defined as the ratio of the length of the side of a right triangle opposite the angle Theta to the length of the hypotenus. When the right triangle is taken to its extreme where the opposite side is the same as the hypotenus, that is the hypotenus and the opposite side are coincident and equal, then the sine function is at its maximum value of 1 (the angle Theta is 90 degrees). When the angle Theta is negative 90 degrees, or 270 degrees, the opposite side is coincident with the hypotenus but directed down, the ratio of lengths is then -1, the minimum value of the sine of Theta.

What is x if sinxsinx equals 1?

If you know that "sin(x)sin(x)=1", this must mean that just sin(x)=1 or -1, since sin(x) can take any value between -1 and 1, but both must be the same in order for "1" to be the product.Now, plot a regular sin(x) curve, and find all the possible points where sin(x)= 1 or -1. These are your x values.


Domains and ranges of sinx?

If y = sin x:x can take on any value, so the domain is the set of real numbers.y can take on values between -1 and 1 (including the extremes); so the range is -1


How do you calculate the angle if you know Sin of the angle?
