What is cos(π − θ) equal to?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: −cos θ

Apply the cosine subtraction 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. Since cos π = −1 and sin π = 0, the value is (−1)cos θ + 0·sin θ = −cos θ. Thus option C is correct. On the unit circle, the angle π − θ lies in the reflected position whose y-coordinate agrees with that of θ but whose x-coordinate is opposite. Because cosine represents the x-coordinate, its sign changes. Option A fails to include the negative sign, while options B and D use sine rather than cosine and therefore represent the wrong coordinate.
