What is cos(θ + π) equal to?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: −cos θ

The governing concept is the cosine addition identity. Apply cos(a + b) = cos a cos b − sin a sin b with a = θ and b = π. Since cos π = −1 and sin π = 0, we obtain cos(θ + π) = cos θ(−1) − sin θ(0) = −cos θ. Hence option A is correct. The same result is clear from the unit circle: adding π radians rotates a point by 180°, changing both coordinates to their opposites. Cosine represents the x-coordinate, so it becomes negative. Option B incorrectly assumes no change after the rotation. Options C and D confuse cosine with sine, and D also assigns the wrong sign and function. Thus the identity is valid for every θ for which the expression is considered.
