Statement flagged by 0 users

The cosine is positive at every point of the open interval from -π/2 to π/2; this is what makes the tangent defined there.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Line: Standing Notation and Background for Calculus on Intervals, let $\cos:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be the cosine function and let $\pi$ be the number of The Number Pi (i).

Positivity. For every $x\in(-\pi/2,\pi/2)$ ,

\cos x>0 .
