Theorem
Let $x \in \R$ be a real number.
Let $\sin x$ be the sine of $x$.
Then:
Sine Function is Continuous
- $\sin x$ is continuous on $\R$.
Sine Function is Absolutely Convergent
- $\sin x$ is absolutely convergent for all $x \in \R$.
Sine of Zero is Zero
- $\sin 0 = 0$
Sine Function is Odd
- $\sin \left({-x}\right) = -\sin x$
That is, the sine function is odd.
Sine of Multiple of Pi
- $\forall n \in \Z: \sin n \pi = 0$
Sine of Multiple of Pi Plus Half
- $\forall n \in \Z: \sin \left({n + \dfrac 1 2}\right) \pi = \left({-1}\right)^n$
Shape of Sine Function
The sine function is:
- $(1): \quad$ strictly increasing on the interval $\left[{-\dfrac \pi 2 \,.\,.\, \dfrac \pi 2}\right]$
- $(2): \quad$ strictly decreasing on the interval $\left[{\dfrac \pi 2 \,.\,.\, \dfrac {3 \pi} 2}\right]$
