The domain of a function #f(x)# are all the values of #x# for which #f(x)# is valid.

The range of a function #f(x)# are all the values which #f(x)# can take on.

#sin(x)# is defined for all real values of #x#, so it's domain is all real numbers.

However, the value of #sin(x)#, its range , is restricted to the closed interval [-1, +1]. (Based on definition of #sin(x)#.)
