With any modern implementation, such functions are available for all 3
floating-point types, for example sinf() for float, sin() for double,
and sinl() for long double. (Or you can use <tgmath.h> and just use the
name "sin".)
If you're stuck with pre-C99 implementations for some reason, then yes,
you need to use the double functions, since the float and long double
functions won't be available (except perhaps as an extension).

True. Using double rather than float is usually a good idea anyway,
unless you need to store a *lot* of values and the space saving is worth
the loss of range and precision.
