1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to draw the graph of the function y=sin1(sinx)y = \sin^{-1}(-\sin x).

2. Solution Steps

First, we use the property that sin(x)=sinx\sin(-x) = -\sin x. Thus sinx=sin(x)-\sin x = \sin(-x). Therefore, the function becomes y=sin1(sin(x))y = \sin^{-1}(\sin(-x)).
We know that sin1(sinx)=x\sin^{-1}(\sin x) = x if π2xπ2-\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2}. However, since we have sin1(sin(x))\sin^{-1}(\sin(-x)), we want to determine the values of xx for which π2xπ2-\frac{\pi}{2} \le -x \le \frac{\pi}{2}. Multiplying by 1-1, we get π2xπ2\frac{\pi}{2} \ge x \ge -\frac{\pi}{2}, which is the same as π2xπ2-\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2}.
Therefore, for π2xπ2-\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2}, we have sin1(sin(x))=x\sin^{-1}(\sin(-x)) = -x.
Now, let's consider the interval π2x3π2\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{3\pi}{2}. In this interval, we can write x=πxx = \pi - x', so x=πxx' = \pi - x. Note that if π2x3π2\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{3\pi}{2}, then π2xπ2-\frac{\pi}{2} \le x' \le \frac{\pi}{2} is false. For example, if x=πx = \pi, then x=0x' = 0, which is true, but if x=3π2x = \frac{3\pi}{2}, then x=π2x' = -\frac{\pi}{2} which is also true. If x=π2x = \frac{\pi}{2}, x=π2x' = \frac{\pi}{2}.
Since sinx=sin(πx)\sin x = \sin(\pi - x), we have sin(x)=sin(π+x)\sin(-x) = \sin(\pi + x).
However, since the range of sin1\sin^{-1} is [π/2,π/2][-\pi/2, \pi/2], we want to express sinx-\sin x as siny\sin y for some y[π/2,π/2]y \in [-\pi/2, \pi/2].
We know sinx=sin(x)-\sin x = \sin(-x). If we are considering the interval π2x3π2\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{3\pi}{2}, then 3π2xπ2-\frac{3\pi}{2} \le -x \le -\frac{\pi}{2}.
Let z=xπz = x-\pi. Then x=z+πx = z+\pi. If π2x3π2\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{3\pi}{2}, then π2zπ2-\frac{\pi}{2} \le z \le \frac{\pi}{2}.
We have sin(x)=sin((z+π))=sin(zπ)=sin(z+π)=(sinz)=sinz\sin(-x) = \sin(-(z+\pi)) = \sin(-z-\pi) = -\sin(z+\pi) = -(-\sin z) = \sin z. Thus sin(x)=sin(xπ)\sin(-x) = \sin(x-\pi).
So, y=sin1(sin(x))=sin1(sin(xπ))y = \sin^{-1}(\sin(-x)) = \sin^{-1}(\sin(x-\pi)).
Since π2xππ2-\frac{\pi}{2} \le x-\pi \le \frac{\pi}{2} when π2x3π2\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{3\pi}{2}, we have sin1(sin(xπ))=xπ\sin^{-1}(\sin(x-\pi)) = x-\pi.
So we have:
y=xy = -x for π2xπ2-\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2}
y=xπy = x-\pi for π2x3π2\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{3\pi}{2}
Notice that the function is periodic with period 2π2\pi. Thus, we want to find the function in the interval [π/2,3π2][-\pi/2, \frac{3\pi}{2}].
The function is defined as:
y =
\begin{cases}
-x & -\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2} \\
x - \pi & \frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{3\pi}{2}
\end{cases}
The graph repeats this pattern every 2π2\pi.

3. Final Answer

The graph of y=sin1(sinx)y = \sin^{-1}(-\sin x) is a sawtooth wave that consists of line segments. The line segments are defined as follows:
y=xy = -x for π2xπ2-\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2}
y=xπy = x - \pi for π2x3π2\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{3\pi}{2}
and this pattern repeats every 2π2\pi.
Final Answer: The final answer is sin1(sinx)\sin^{-1}(-\sin x).
