Thanks guest fort spoting my mistake. I am sorry, I was doing another homework and didn't double check my typing.Yeah , you are right,the correct formula for sin(z) is sin(z)=sin(x+iy)= sin(x)*cosh(y)+i*cos(x)sinh(y). The image of strip R under mapping f(z)=sin(z) is quadrant+the fourth quadrant+the positive real axis of complex plane. Let w=f(z),then Re(w) is the set positive number and Im(w) is real number.Then the image is an open set,isn't it? Where the definition of open set is A set is open if all its points are interior points,and the definition of interior point is A point a ∈ G is an interior point of G if some open disk with center a is a subset of G. And open disk is the inside of this circle with center a and radius r; we use the notation D[a,r] := {z ∈ C : |z − a| < r} .

I consider the last answer as correct answer in the preceeding link.
