The Graph of y = cos x y x
(0, 1)
Characteristics of the Cosine Function 1. The domain is the set of all real numbers. 2. The range consists of all real numbers from -1 to 1, inclusive. 3. The cosine function is an even function (symmetric with respect to the y-axis). 4. 5.
Characteristics of the Cosine Function 6.
The graphs of the sine and cosine functions are called sinusoidal graphs.
