Answer:

yes

Explanation:

One way to describe a sine function is that it is the y-coordinate of a point on the unit circle that is θ radians counterclockwise from the x-axis:

y = sin(θ)

__

Another way to describe the sine function is that it is the solution to the differential equation for undamped "simple harmonic motion."

y'' + y = 0; y'(0) = 1, y(0) = 0

y = sin(x)
