Best Answer

cosine(x) = -1

x = (270 + 360N) degrees

or

x = (1.5 + 2N) pi radians

N is any integer, positive or negative.

Does cos x equal cos negative x?

Yes. Cosine is adjacent side over hypothenuse. Adjacent side is the same sign when x is positive or negative.


Why does cos negative theta equal cos postitive theta?

The cosine is simply the x-coordinate of the unitary circle. It helps to draw the circle, and the sine and cosine (x and y coordinates), to visualize this. The y-coordinate is the same for a positive angle and for the corresponding negative angle.


Why does cosine x equal cosine negative x?

This is going to require some visualization. Cosine is defined as the x-value on the unit circle. If you picture where a point would be, for example, at the angle of pi/6 (30°) you get a coordinate of (√(3)/2 , 1/2) so cosine is √(3)/2 and sine is 1/2 To find a negative angle you take the reflection across the x-axis. Since this does not chance the x-value, only the y, cosine does not change. The coordinates of -(pi/6) (-30°) are (√(3)/2 , -1/2). cos(-x) = cos(x) sin(-x) = - sin(x)■

How do you differentiate a cosine function That is what is the derivative of the cosine of x with respect to the independent variable x?

f(x) = Cos(x) f'(x) = -Sin(x) Conversely f(x) = Sin(x) f'(x) = Cos(x) NB Note the change of signs.
