Explanation:

To answer this problem we must know the following properties.


cos(-x) = cos(x) even function


sin(-x) = -sin(x) odd function


cos^2(x) - sin(x)sin(-x) = 1 Because..........
cos(x) = cos(-x)


cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1 Because..........
sin(-x) = -sin(x)

By definition


cos^2 (x) + sin^2 (x) = 1

Then, the property is demonstrated:


cos(x)cos(-x) - sin(x)sin(-x) = 1
