Answer

(a) $0$. (b) $(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2})$ (c) $1$ (d) $x=0,\pi,2\pi$ (e) $x=-\frac{3\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}$, $x=-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2}$. (f) $x=-\frac{5\pi}{6},-\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{7\pi}{6},\frac{11\pi}{6}$. (g) $x=k\pi$

Work Step by Step

Given $f(x)=sin(x)$, we have: (a) y-intercept $f(0)=0$, see graph. (b) increasing over $(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2})$ (c) absolution maximum $1$ (d) $f(x)=0$ at $x=0,\pi,2\pi$ (e) $f(x)=1$ at $x=-\frac{3\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}$. $f(x)=-1$ at $x=-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2}$. (f) $f(x)=-1/2$ at $x=-\frac{5\pi}{6},-\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{7\pi}{6},\frac{11\pi}{6}$. (g) x-intercept(s) at $x=k\pi$ where $k$ is an integer.
