48? Does this follow the pattern?

This one was quite strange; it did not fit within the normal viewing window. See its viewing window here.

sin 48q

0? For the cosine, this graph is the unit circle.

This one, like 24, did not fit into the standard viewing window.

sin 49q

1

Observation: 49 is equal to 47 flipped about the x-axis.

sin 50q

4

This is a repeat of 46. Another cycle is beginning, although now, everything is reflected about the x-axis.
