Reflecting the graph of y = cos x across the y-axis is the same as reflecting it across the x-axis.
True or Fale

Reflecting the graph of y = cos(x) is across the x-axis is the same as taking y = -cos(x). Reflecting across the y-axis is the same as taking cos(-x). However, cos(-x) is actually equal to cos(x), not -cos(x), so these two are not equivalent (diagram attached).

I have also attached a graph of these functions. The green line is the reflection over the y-axis, which is the same as the original function. The blue line is the reflection over the x-axis.

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
