As sin x ≤ 1 so there will be solution if ! 0 x ≤ 1 ⟹ x ≤ 1 0 = 3 π + ϵ .It will give solution upto 3 π .After 3 π sine curve will go negative and x / 1 0 will remain positive.This line will cut every concave part twice.Between 3 π there are three concave part where two parts are above X-axis and one is below X-axis.It will cut only positive X-axis.So, there will be No.of concave part × no. of cuts = 2 × 2 = 4 solutions .As sine is symmetric then for the negative part there will be another four solutions.Total 4 + 4 = 8 solutions.But we have calculated x = 0 twice.Then number of distinct solutions are 8 − 1 = 7 solutions.
