The cosine function, like all of the trigonometric functions, is periodic about the rotation around a circle. Since the cosine is defined as the adjacent/hypotenuse of a right triangle, you can clearly see that its value can never be greater than one or less than -1 since the hypotenuse is always longer than the adjacent side. It turns out that, indeed, the cosine's range is from -1 to 1, written [-1,1].

How can you tell if a graph is a sine function or a cosine function?
sine graph will be formed at origine of graph and cosine graph is find on y-axise
What is the period of the cosine function y is equal to 3 cos x?
y=3cos(x) peroid is 2pie
What is an inverse cosine?
The inverse of the cosine is the secant.
How do you identify the range of a function?
The range of a function is the interval (or intervals) over which the independent variable is valid, i.e. results in a valid value of the function.
What is the range of the tangent function?
The range is infinite in both directions.
