How do you solve: sin(sin^-1 (0.9))?

I'm going to assume that by sin^(-1) what is intended is what is also called the arcsin (the inverse of the sin function) and not the value of the sin function to the exponent of -1.

If this is the case, then by definition
sin(arcsin(0.9)) = 0.9

If you intended the (-1) to be an exponent then I know of no way to solve this other than to look-up the (approximated) values using a table of sin values or a calculator.
