Let y = sin ( sin 2 x + 2 sin x ) = sin ( ( sin x + 1 ) 2 1 ) y = \sin \left(\sin^2 x + 2\sin x\right) = \sin \left((\sin x + 1)^2 - 1\right) . This implies that max ( y ) = sin ( π 2 ) = 1 \max(y) = \sin \left(\frac \pi 2\right) = \boxed 1 , when ( sin x + 1 ) 2 1 = π 2 (\sin x +1)^2 - 1 = \frac \pi 2 sin x = π 2 + 1 1 0.603 \implies \sin x = \sqrt{\frac \pi 2+1} - 1 \approx 0.603 , which exists.
