Question 3 • Common Core Precalculus - MA3112 Quarter 1

What is one characteristic of the cosine function?

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

Explanation

Cosine is an even function: cos(−x) = cos(x). This means its graph is symmetric about the y-axis. Its domain is all real numbers, while its range—not its domain—is between −1 and 1.
