#x in RR: [2npi, (2n+1)pi] forall n in ZZ#

Explanation:

#f(x) = sqrt(sinx)#

#f(x)# is real where #sinx>=0#

I.e. #[0, pi], [2pi, 3pi], .....# #-> +oo#
and #[-2pi, -pi]. [-4pi, -3pi]. ......# #-> -oo#

To generalise; #[2npi, (2n+1)pi] forall n in ZZ#

Hence the domain of #f(x)# is #x in RR: [2npi, (2n+1)pi] forall n in ZZ#

This can be more easily visualised from the graph of #f(x)# below.
