Theorem
Let $\cos t$ be the cosine of $t$, where $t \in \R$.
Then $\cos t$ is of exponential order $0$.
Proof
\(\ds \forall t \ge 1: \, \) | \(\ds \size {\cos t}\) | \(\le\) | \(\ds 1\) | Real Cosine Function is Bounded | ||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds \size {\cos t}\) | \(<\) | \(\ds 2\) | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 2 e^{0 t}\) | Exponential of Zero |
The result follows from the definition of exponential order with $M = 1$, $K = 2$, and $a = 0$.
