Find a function FUN that leads to the following output:
curve(FUN, from = -10, to = 10, col = "red", ylim = c(-2, 2))
curve(sin, add = TRUE)
grid()
Hint: aim to keep the answer simple. The main logic of the function can often be summarized in a single line of R code.

We can write the function as follows:
FUN <- function(x) {
return(sin(x + pi / 2))
}We then get:
curve(FUN, from = -10, to = 10, col = "red", ylim = c(-2, 2))
curve(sin, add = TRUE)
grid()

We can use various trigonometric identities to derive more solutions to this puzzle. For example:
sin(x + pi/2) = cos(x)
FUN can then be defined as:
FUN <- function(x) {
return(cos(x))
}We can confirm that this function solves the puzzle:
curve(FUN, from = -10, to = 10, col = "red", ylim = c(-2, 2))
curve(sin, add = TRUE)
grid()
