l totally forgot to account for arcsin.

 

Sorry Wong.

 

You stated the general solution and that threw me for a loop.

 

But x= pi/2 was correct.

\(\sin X = 1\\ X = \arcsin 1 = \dfrac{\pi}{2}\\ \text{General solution:}X = \dfrac{\pi}{2} + 2n\pi\)

l think you have some misunderstanding. x=0

 

Sin(0)=1

 

My proof: Unit Circle.

Input sin(0) into your calculator...... Or use the unit circle.......

 

Unit circle:sin(0) = Opposite/Hypotenuse = 0/1 = 0.

 

Calculator:sin(0) = 0.

 

Maybe it is your mistake?

 

I memorize it from the graph. sin(x) = 0, 1, 0, -1, 0, 1, 0, -1 ..........

Try memorizing a unit circle. They have much needed utility in higher levels of math.

 

x=0 radians

l should stop answering questions for tonight. Fatigue really messes with your sense of the UC. But that's no excuse. Thank you for the clarification. :D
