What is cos(π + θ) equal to?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: −cos θ

Use the cosine addition identity, cos(A + B) = cos A cos B − sin A sin B. With A = π and B = θ, cos(π + θ) = cos π cos θ − sin π sin θ. The standard values are cos π = −1 and sin π = 0, so the expression becomes (−1)cos θ − 0·sin θ = −cos θ. Hence option B is correct. Geometrically, adding π produces a half-turn on the unit circle. A point with coordinates (cos θ, sin θ) moves to (−cos θ, −sin θ), so its x-coordinate, represented by cosine, changes sign. Option A misses that reversal, whereas options C and D confuse cosine with the y-coordinate function, sine.
