Sine and cosine cannot be greater than 1 because they are the Y and X values of a point on the unit circle. Tangent, on the other hand, is sine over cosine, so its domain is (-infinity,+infinity), with an asymptote occurring every odd pi/2.
Cosine (0) = 1 Sin(0) = 0 The sine and cosine curves are two intertwining curves, that complement each other, hence the words 'Sine (Curve) and Cosine ( COmplementary Curve).
The Y-Intercept of the cosine function is X = 0, Y = cosine(0) = 1.
The cosine of 0.57 degrees is 0.999951. The cosine of 0.57 radians is 0.841901
