If \(x\in[-1,1]\), what is \(\cos(\cos^{-1}x)\) equal to?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x

The function \(\cos^{-1}x\) returns the principal angle \(\theta\in[0,\pi]\) such that \(\cos\theta=x\). Therefore \(\cos(\cos^{-1}x)=x\) for all \(x\in[-1,1]\). Option B (|x|) is incorrect because \(x\) may be negative and composition does not take absolute value. Option C (\(\cos^{-1}x\)) is an angle, not the original numeric value \(x\). Option D (\(-x\)) is also incorrect. Exam tip: remember domain/range restrictions — \(\cos(\cos^{-1}x)=x\) on \([-1,1]\), whereas \(\cos^{-1}(\cos y)\) equals \(y\) only when \(y\in[0,\pi]\).
