If it is possible to approximate the above function using a sum of sines and cosines, then it can be argued that *any* continuous periodic function can be expressed in a similar way. This is because any function could be expressed as a number of peaks at every position.
It turns out that the above function can be approximated as the sum of two cosines, namely, $\cos^{2n}(x) + cos^{2n+1}(x)$
