Range of nested function f(x)

Calculus Level 3

Let f ( x ) = sin ( π 6 sin ( π 2 sin x ) ) f(x) = \sin \left(\dfrac \pi 6 \sin \left(\dfrac \pi 2 \sin x \right) \right) for all x R x \in \mathbb R . What is the range of f ( x ) f(x) ?

( 0.25 , 0.25 ) (-0.25,0.25) [ 0.5 , 0.5 ] [-0.5,0.5] ( 0.25 , 0.5 ) (-0.25,0.5) ( 1 , 1 ) (-1,1)

We note that x R \forall x \in \mathbb R sin x [ 1 , 1 ] \implies \sin x \in [-1,1] sin ( π 2 sin x ) [ 1 , 1 ] \implies \sin \left(\dfrac \pi 2 \sin x\right) \in [-1, 1] sin ( π 6 sin ( π 2 sin x ) ) [ 0.5 , 0.5 ] \implies \sin \left(\dfrac \pi 6 \sin \left(\dfrac \pi 2 \sin x\right)\right) \in [-0.5, 0.5] .

If x e R then the range of Sin(X) is [-1,1].

Range of pi/2 * Sin(x) is [-pi/2,pi/2]

Range of Sin(pi/2*Sin(x)) =[-1,1]

Range of pi/6 * Sin(pi/2*Sin(x)) = [-pi/6,pi/6]

Range of Sin (pi/6 * Sin(pi/2*Sin(x)) is hence (-0.5,0.5)
