Answer: The first option.


Explanation:

1. You need to remember that:

- An even function is a function with the following property:

f(-x)=f(x)

- An odd function is a function with the following property:

f(-x)=-f(x)

2. By definition, the contangent is an odd function, therefore you have that:

cot(-θ)=-cot(θ)

Then:


2cot(-(9\pi)/(2))\\eq2cot((9\pi)/(2))

3. So, you can coclude that the first step is wrong. Therefore, the answer is the first option.
