MizuiChan sin(x)/x does not always equal one. That would require that x=sin(x), assuming that x cannot be 0, which isn't always true. There are other trigonometric identities like cos^2(x)+sin^2(x) that do always equal 1, however. Reply April 2, 2012 - edited
blabbity3 It doesn't....Proof: sin(1)/1=0.84147...If any x is false the equation is not always true If your asking how to solve for x, go to wolfram alpha and enter in the equation, too lazy to solve it Reply April 2, 2012 - edited
UglierBetty But.... that's wrong... sin(x)/x=1? Then sin(30)/30=1, which isn't true... If I am making some sort of stupid mistake, someone point it out please, (politely, of course) Reply April 2, 2012 - edited

That equation is false.
It doesn't....
Proof: sin(1)/1=0.84147...
If any x is false the equation is not always true

sin(x)/x=1?
