Graphing Sine and Cosine Functions — Quiz

Question 7 • Precalculus

What is one characteristic of the cosine function?

Answer
A
Its graph is symmetric about the y -axis.
B
Its domain is between negative 1 and 1 and is inclusive.
C
It is an odd function.
D
It has a period equal to pi .

Explanation

The cosine function is even, meaning cos(−x) = cos(x) for every x. This makes its graph symmetric about the y-axis, so choice A is correct. Its domain is all real numbers, it is not an odd function, and its period is 2π rather than π.
