Russian term or phrase: график функции игрек равно синус икс по модулю
у меня в куске литературного текста студент зачитывает вслух из учебника такую фразу:

***Постройте график функции игрек равно синус икс по модулю***, и найдите точки экстремума этой функции (...)

у меня нет времени гуглить английские задачки, поэтому я прибежала к вам за помощью.

если вдруг всё-таки нужен ещё контекст, то он дальше рисует график, ставит жирные точки максимума, а в результате у него получается рисунок женской груди.

agree  svetlana cosquéric: plot the sine wave of the modulus of x

agree  Mikhail Kropotov: Можно и так (use 'absolute value' for US), хотя функция все-таки синус модуля, а не модуль синуса :)

construct a graph for y equals sine of the absolute value of x


Explanation:
for y equals the abslolute value of sine of x

and find the extrema of the function

синус абслютного значения х и абсолютное значение синуса х - одно и то же.

neutral  Yuriy Sokha (X): do you really think | sin x | = sin | x | ?
36 mins
  -> Oops. Плохо подумал. Бывает. Синус модуля бывает отрицательным, а модуль синуса не бывает. Хотя на переводе это не отражается.

chart a sine finction and find its inflection points


Explanation:
The whole "y=", "absolute value" is immaterial imho in this context.

пришел анекдот в голову: полковник читает лекцию и говорит: синус данного угла равен двум. Солдат поднимает руку и говорит: товарищ полковник, а разве бывает синус больше единицы? Ответ: молчать, рядовой; в боевых условиях до семи доходит!

disagree  Igor Savenkov: но даже в боевых условиях inflection point - точка перегиба (это там, где вторая производная обращается в ноль), а не точка экстремума (где первая производная равна нулю)
