I'm trying to find out what the graph of the function $y= \sin^2(\sqrt{x})$ looks like. Can someone please help me?

    Do you know the chain rule? Have you plotted the function?2011-03-20

    @Rasmus, I've just looked up the chain rule but I'm not sure how to apply it. And yes I've plotted the function on excel, but I need to know the mathematical boundaries of it.2011-03-20

    Boundaries? Do you mean where the function is defined? $\sin$ takes all real arguments, and the square root function is defined for all non-zero $x$, so the domain is $[0, \infty)$.2011-03-20

    adding to Billare, $\sin(x)$ gives values in $[-1,1]$, so $\sin^2(x)$ gives values in $[0,1]$ and so does $\sin^2(\sqrt{x})$.2011-03-20
