The cosine curve is where the terminal side of that angle intersects in the unit circle.

the main thing i learned about the cosine curve was the meaning of a cosine curve how to write one as well. but most of all how to solve a cosine curve problem if i need to.

I learned that the maximum and the minimum are the same as the sine and that at 90 and 270 the cosine will be 0 and then at 0,360 the cosine will be 1 and then at 180 the cosine will be -1.

From seeing the cosine graphed, i noticed that it has a mountain/valley form. Also, I learned that the maximum and minimum of this and the sine graph is 1/-1. The Cosine graph intersects the X-axis at 90 and 270 degrees.

ughh MS Lynch my head hurts...the grapgh parts are so confusing..well i hope i get it soon i dn't want to fail any test. Can you go over these graphs. ^-^

from the graphs i learned that when no unit is specified the angle is measured in radians, the cos of pi/2 and 3 pi/2 equals 0 and the cos of pi and 2 pi equals 1, and when a point in quad I is negative it is equal to the point in quad IV , negatives in quad II equal quad III, negatives in quad III equal quad II and negatives in quad IV equal quad I

We learned that the value of cosø equals 0 when ø equals 90˚ and 270˚. To include, we also learned how to determine ø=π.

Ms. Lynch, I kind of learned a little something today. It's just that I don't always understand what I am doing or supposed to be doing.

The three main components I learned from working with the cosine module:

1)y=1 when cos is 0.

2)The curve repeats itself after every full rotation (2pi)

3)That a negative rotation means a curve going to the negative side of the coordinate plane.
