Domain: #(-oo, +oo)#
Range: #[-1, +1]#

Explanation:

#y=sin(2x)#

#y# is defined #forall x in RR#

#:.# the domain of #y# is #(-oo, +oo)#

Let #theta = 2x#

#y = sin theta -> -1<= y <= +1 forall theta in RR#

Hence, #y = sin(2x) -> -1<= y <= +1 forall theta in RR#

#:.# the range of #y# is #[-1, +1]#

We can observe the domain and range of #y# from the graph of #y=sin(2x) below.

Domain: # -oo < x < oo or x| (-oo ,oo)#
Range: #−1 ≤ y≤ 1 or [-1.1]#

Explanation:

#y=sin(2x)# , the domain of the function y=sin(2x) is all real

numbers (sine is defined for any angle measure),

i.e # -oo < x < oo or x| (-oo ,oo)#

The range is #−1 ≤ y≤ 1 or [-1.1]# , as maximum and minimum

value of #y# lie in between #-1# and #1# , inclusive.

Domain: # -oo < x < oo or x| (-oo ,oo)#

Range: #−1 ≤ y≤ 1 or [-1.1]#
