Domain of y=sqrt(cosx): 1st & 4th Quadrant of Unit Circle

[Calixto]

What would the domain of y = sqrt(cosx) be in mathematical terms. I know that it is all the reals that lie in the first and fourth quadrant of the unit circle, but how would you express that in mathematical terms?

Something like
D=\{x|x\in[\frac{(4n-1)\pi}{2},\frac{(4n+1)\pi}{2}]\}
where n is any integer

You first need to define the domain of x.
If x is +60 for example then cos(x)>0 but if it is -60, then it is <0. sqrt of that is an imaginary number which is not defined.

So basically for x>0 domain is (0,1)

I would like to know how Calixto got his answer as I may be wrong.
