Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the methods for finding the values of sin(cos(x)) and cos(sin(x)), specifically in the context of trigonometry and the use of WolframAlpha as a computational tool.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant, Huygen, asks how to find sin(cos(x)) or cos(sin(x)), indicating a need for clarification on the method.
  • Another participant questions what form the equations should be expressed in, suggesting that more context is needed for a meaningful response.
  • Huygen later reiterates interest in solving the equations in terms of trigonometry, but does not specify further.
  • A different participant critiques the initial question as incomplete and unclear, asking whether Huygen seeks numerical values or something else.
  • A link to WolframAlpha is provided as a potential resource for finding the values of sin(cos(x)).

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the clarity or completeness of the original question, and there are differing interpretations of what is being asked.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks specific equations or numerical examples, which may limit the ability to provide a comprehensive answer. The assumptions regarding the desired form of the solution remain unresolved.

Hi everyone,

Can someone please tell me how the method I can find the sin (cos x) or cos (sin x)?

Thanks in advance

Find it in terms of what?
 
In trigonometry, maybe?

Btw, I wonder in what form is possible of above equation can be solved?

There are no equations to be seen in this thread therefore none to be solved.
Your question makes no sense it's incomplete. We surely now this is trigonometry but what is the question?

Do you want to know how you can calculate the numerical value if you insert a value for x, or is it something else?

We would appreciate it if you would take more than 10 seconds to write a post so it's comprehensible to everyone.
