You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you can't use a graphing calculator, but a regular calculator, then simply generate a table of values for $\"y=sin%28x%29\"$ like so\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "       x          y\r\n" );
document.write( "  ----------------------\r\n" );
document.write( "   -5.00000    0.95892\r\n" );
document.write( "   -4.00000    0.75680\r\n" );
document.write( "   -3.00000   -0.14112\r\n" );
document.write( "   -2.00000   -0.90930\r\n" );
document.write( "   -1.00000   -0.84147\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.00000    0.00000\r\n" );
document.write( "    1.00000    0.84147\r\n" );
document.write( "    2.00000    0.90930\r\n" );
document.write( "    3.00000    0.14112\r\n" );
document.write( "    4.00000   -0.75680\r\n" );
document.write( "    5.00000   -0.95892\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, you can throw in special values such as $\"sin%28pi%29=0\"$ . Once you have your points, plot them:\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now draw a curve through all of the points to graph $\"y=sin%28x%29\"$ \r
