What is (\cos(2\pi-x)) equal to?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (\cos x)

The direct answer is option C, cos x. Use the cosine subtraction identity: cos(A-B)=cos A cos B+sin A sin B. Take A=2π and B=x. Since cos 2π=1 and sin 2π=0, cos(2π-x)=1·cos x+0·sin x=cos x. Option A, -cos x, is wrong; that sign change occurs for cos(π-x), not this expression. Option B, sin x, is wrong because cosine does not become sine merely because an angle is subtracted. Option C works exactly. Option D, -sin x, is also wrong and confuses cosine with sine as well as introducing an unnecessary negative sign. Geometrically, subtracting x from one full revolution places the angle in the reflected position, whose cosine is the same. This identity is valid for every real x, so no quadrant restriction is needed. Memory cue: cosine is even around a full turn: cos(2π-x)=cos x.
