Q. The number of points of intersection of $2y = 1$ and $y = \sin x$, in $- 2\pi \leq x \leq 2\pi$ is

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
Explanation

(d)
$\sin{x = \frac{1}{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \ \sin{x = \sin\frac{\pi}{6}}$
$\Rightarrow x = n\pi + ( - 1)^{n}\frac{\pi}{6}$
For $- 2\pi \leq x \leq 2\pi$
$x = \frac{\pi}{6},\frac{5\pi}{6},\ - \frac{7\pi}{6},\ - \frac{11\pi}{6}$
$\therefore$ Number of points of intersection of two given curves$= 4$
Alternate

The number of points of intersection are 4
