The basic cosine graph is as follow:
 +
{| style="background:none"
 +
|
 +
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
 +
|-
 +
!x values
 +
!y values
 +
|-
 +
|width="50%"|0
 +
|width="50%"|1
 +
|-
 +
|π/2
 +
|0
 +
|-
 +
|π
 +
| -1
 +
|-
 +
|3π/2
 +
| 0
 +
|-
 +
|2π
 +
|1
 +
|}
 +

That would be a full period of the graph - as 2π [[radians]] is equivalent to one circle. The graph continues in that pattern.
