Clearly ( x , y ) = ( 0 , 0 ) is one solution. The range of the sine curve is contained in [ − 9 9 , 9 9 ] , which occur at the abscissae:
x = 0 . 5 , 2 . 5 , 4 . 5 , . . . , 9 8 . 5 for maximum of 99.
x = − 0 . 5 , − 2 . 5 , − 4 . 5 , . . . , − 9 8 . 5 for minimum of -99
Each of these sine peaks contains two points of intersection with the line y = x . The curves will no longer intersect each other in ( − ∞ , − 9 9 ] ∪ [ 9 9 , + ∞ ) . So we ultimately end up with: 5 0 ⋅ 2 RHS points + 5 0 ⋅ 2 LHS points - 1 point (the repeated origin ( 0 , 0 ) ) = 1 9 9 total intersection points.
