Answer: The given statement is FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to check whether the following statement is TRUE of FALSE :

"There are values of t so that
\sin t=(5)/(4)."

We know that the range of sine function is the close interval [-1, 1].

That is,

the value of sine of any angle cannot be less than -1 and greater than 1.

According to the given information, we have


\sin t=(5)/(4)=1.25>1.

So, no such values of t exists for which
\sin t=(5)/(4).

Hence, the given statement is FALSE.
