What is \(\cos(-x)\) equal to?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(\cos x\)

The governing concept is the even-function property of cosine. A function is even when \(f(-x)=f(x)\); cosine has this property because reflection of an angle across the x-axis leaves the x-coordinate on the unit circle unchanged. Therefore, \(\cos(-x)=\cos x\), making option C correct. This should not be confused with sine, which is odd and satisfies \(\sin(-x)=-\sin x\). Hence options A and D introduce an incorrect negative sign or an incorrect function, while option B changes cosine into sine without justification. The identity is valid for every x for which cosine is defined.
