Hi Commenwealth,
1) Period: 2Π/2 = Π
2) Draw coordinate plane and show point (Π, 0) on the x-axis
3) Segment 0 to Π divided by four then show Π/4, Π/2, 3Π/4 Π
4) show (0, 1/2) and ( 0, -1/2) on the y-axis
5) Follow the graph of cosine from point (0,1/2) then (Π/4 , 0) and minimum at (Π/2, -1/2) then arrive to the point (3Π/4 , 0) and final point is (Π, 1/2)
I hope it is useful,
Minoo
