SOLUTION: True or false: There are angles for which sin(3x) = 3.
I know that the "x" is in terms of radian measure, and so the output is in terms of radians, but can sin(3x) be equal to 3?

The range for sine function is from negative 1 to positive 1.
x, or 3x, or 10x, or x/2, or whatever as any input for the sine function; no matter. The range for sine function is still from negative 1 to positive 1.

No. Suppose I say that
This is impossible because the sine function
varies from -1 to +1
--------------------------------------------
Also, the sine function is a ratio, call it
. Whatever units you may assign
to and , they cancel out in the ratio,
so it's just a number
