The correct Answer is:
To find the range of the function \( f(x) = \sin(\cos x) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the range of \( \cos x \) The cosine function oscillates between -1 and 1 for all real values of \( x \). Therefore, we can state that: \[ -1 \leq \cos x \leq 1 \] ### Step 2: Apply the sine function to the range of \( \cos x \) Next, we need to find the range of \( f(x) = \sin(\cos x) \). Since the input to the sine function (which is \( \cos x \)) ranges from -1 to 1, we will evaluate \( \sin(y) \) where \( y \) is in the interval \([-1, 1]\). ### Step 3: Find the values of \( \sin(y) \) for \( y \in [-1, 1] \) We know that: - The sine function is continuous and increasing in the interval \([-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]\). - The maximum value of \( \sin(y) \) occurs at \( y = 1 \) and the minimum value occurs at \( y = -1 \). Calculating these values: \[ \sin(-1) \quad \text{and} \quad \sin(1) \] Using a calculator or sine values: - \( \sin(-1) \) is approximately \(-0.8415\) - \( \sin(1) \) is approximately \(0.8415\) ### Step 4: Combine the results to find the range of \( f(x) \) Thus, the range of \( f(x) = \sin(\cos x) \) can be expressed as: \[ -0.8415 \leq f(x) \leq 0.8415 \] ### Conclusion The range of the function \( f(x) = \sin(\cos x) \) is: \[ [-\sin(1), \sin(1)] \]
