What does “Range of sine and cosine” actually mean in Trigonometry, and why does it matter for JEE?

sinθ and cosθ always lie between −1 and 1.

In simple words: sinθ and cosθ always lie between −1 and 1. Getting Range of sine and cosine clear matters because JEE questions on Trigonometry usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.

Key point

Range of sine and cosine

Common mistake

accepting an answer where sinθ > 1.

Memory tip

if a step gives sinθ = 1.4, you've made an error somewhere.
