Question
(c) choose the correct statement.
for any angle θ, we have cos(−θ)=−cosθ. (so cosine is an odd function.)
for any angle θ, we have cos(−θ)=cosθ. (so cosine is an even function.)
neither of the above answers are true. (so cosine is neither an odd nor an even function.)
By the definition of even and odd functions, an even function satisfies $f(-x)=f(x)$ and an odd function satisfies $f(-x)= - f(x)$. For the cosine function, $\cos(-\theta)=\cos\theta$ for any angle $\theta$. So cosine is an even - function.
