The graphs of the sine and cosine functions Let's continue to use t as a variable angle. A good way for human beings to understand a function is to look at its graph. Let's start with the graph of sin t. Take the horizontal axis to be the t-axis (rather than the x-axis as usual), take the vertical axis to be the y-axis, and graph the equation y = sin t. It looks like this. First, note that it is periodic of period 2. Geometrically, that means that if you take the curve and slide it 2 either

After reading the case many times, now I get to the point where I don’t know if I agree

The things that I can see, touch, smell, hear, and feel are what is real.” However, there are some people who are not satisfied with this simple answer and would challenge this view. The hit movie The Matrix, Plato’s famous cave allegory, and Rene Descartes’ meditation piece are three works of art that dare to question reality and make one think about the authenticity of the world in which we live.
