-4cos(2pi)

- 4 cos (2 π)

- 4

Solution steps

- 4 cos (2 π)

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (2 π) = 1

cos (2 π)

cos (2 π) = cos (0)

cos (2 π)

Rewrite

2 π

2 π + 0

= cos (2 π + 0)

Apply the periodicity of

cos

cos (x + 2 π) = cos (x)

cos (2 π + 0) = cos (0)

= cos (0)

= cos (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (0) = 1

cos (0)

cos (x)

= 1

= 1

= - 4 \cdot 1
