I think cos(x) is closed function in R.
But I heard that cos(x) is not closed function in R.
What do I choose closed set A in R, cos(A) is not closed in R?
Help...

Consider for instance the set [itex]A := \{2n\pi-1/n: n\in\mathbb{N}\}[/itex]. It is closed, but cos(A) does not contain its limit point 1.
