Understanding the Sine Function

The video tutorial explains the domain and range of the sine function. It begins with an introduction to the sine function using a unit circle, followed by graphing the sine function with various theta values. The tutorial then explains the periodic nature of the sine graph and concludes with a discussion on the domain and range of the sine function, highlighting that the domain is all real numbers and the range is between -1 and 1.

What is the primary focus of the sine function in trigonometry?

• Understanding the relationship between angles and side lengths

• Exploring the relationship between angles and coordinates on a unit circle

• Determining the length of a hypotenuse

• Calculating angles in a triangle

How is the sine of an angle determined using the unit circle?

• By finding the X-coordinate of the point on the circle

• By calculating the circumference of the circle

• By finding the Y-coordinate of the point on the circle

• By measuring the angle in degrees

What is the sine of an angle when theta is zero?

• 1

• 0

• -1

• Undefined

At which angle does the sine function reach its maximum value?

• 3π/2 radians

• 0 radians

• π/2 radians

• π radians

What pattern emerges as you continue to increase the angle in the sine function?

• The sine value oscillates between -1 and 1

• The sine value continues to increase indefinitely

• The sine value becomes negative

• The sine value remains constant

What is the shape of the graph of the sine function?

• A straight line

• A parabola

• A sinusoidal wave

• A circle

Why are curves that resemble the sine function called sinusoids?

• Because they are parabolic

• Because they are circular

• Because they are the graph of a sine function

• Because they are straight lines

What is the domain of the sine function?

• All real numbers

• Only integers

• All positive numbers

• All negative numbers

What is the range of the sine function?

• All real numbers

• Between -1 and 1, inclusive

• Between 0 and 1

• Between -1 and 0

What happens to the sine function when the angle is negative?

• The sine value becomes zero

• The sine value becomes undefined

• The sine value remains positive

• The sine value mirrors the positive angle
