Problem
The number of 
-intercepts on the graph of 
in the interval 
is closest to
Solution
The function 
has roots in the form of 
for all integers 
. Therefore, we want 
on 
, so 
. There are 
solutions for on this interval.
Solution
We know that belongs to the interval for 
. We see that when we plug in into , the argument 
is always from the range 
. Therefore, the problem simply asks for all the zeros of 
with values between . We know that the values of any sine graph is 
so, we see that values of are any integer value from 
to 
and therefore gives us an answer of approximately 
which is answer
