limit as X--> infinity of cos(x)

Homework Statement


Find the limit.
[tex]\stackrel{lim}{x\rightarrow\infty}cos(x)[/tex]


The Attempt at a Solution


As best as I can tell by putting larger and larger numbers in my calculator, there is no limit, as cos(x) just oscillates between (-1,1). So is the limit undefined, or is it 1?

Your first thought is correct. It is undefined.
