Answer:
Figure of the function is included below as attachment.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let [tex]y = \cos x[/tex]As first step we have to find x intercepts, maxima and minima from 0 to 2π, which are needed to plot given function. Cosine is a trigonometric function bounded between -1 and 1 with a periodicity of 2π.
x-Intercepts
x-intercepts are those points of the function such that [tex]y = 0[/tex]. That is:
[tex]\cos x = 0[/tex]
In this case, there is a periodicity of π for [tex]y = 0[/tex]. The x-intercepts are in the following set:
[tex]S = \{\forall\,x\in\mathbb{R}|x=0.5\pi\pm\pi\cdot i,i\in\mathbb{N}_{O} \}[/tex]
Maxima
Maxima are those points of the function such that [tex]y = 1[/tex]. That is:
[tex]\cos x = 1[/tex]
In this case, there is a periodicity of 2π for [tex]y = 1[/tex]. Maxima are in the following set:
[tex]S = \{\forall\,x\in\mathbb{R}|x=0\pm2\pi\cdot i,i\in\mathbb{N}_{O} \}[/tex]
Minima
Minima are those points of the function such that [tex]y = -1[/tex]. That is:
[tex]\cos x = -1[/tex]
In this case, there is a periodicity of 2π for [tex]y = -1[/tex]. Minima are in the following set:
[tex]S = \{\forall\,x\in\mathbb{R}|x=\pi\pm2\pi\cdot i,i\in\mathbb{N}_{O} \}[/tex]
Lastly, we proceed to plot the function as well as its x-intercepts, maxima and minima with the help of a plotting tool.
