Answer

$c1$ no intersection

Work Step by Step

We are given the functions: $y=\sin x$, $0\leq x<2\pi$ $y=c$ The range of the function $y=\sin x$ is $[-1,1]$. Therefore we have: $c1\Rightarrow$ no intersection For $x=\dfrac{\pi}{2}$, the function $y=\sin x$ has a maximum of 1, therefore we have: $c=1\Rightarrow$ one intersection For $x=\dfrac{3\pi}{2}$, the function $y=\sin x$ has a minimum of -1, therefore we have: $c=-1\Rightarrow$ one intersection For the rest of the values of $c$, we have: $-1
