Answer:

The given statement :


\sin (-x)=-\cos x is a False statement.

Explanation:

We are given a statement as:


\sin (-x)=-\cos x for all the values of x.

But this expression is not correct.

for example if we take x=0

then we have:


\sin (0)=-\cos (0)\\\\i.e.\\\\0=-1

which is incorrect.

Also, when
x=(\pi)/(2)

we have:


\sin (-(\pi)/(2))=-\cos ((\pi)/(2))\\\\i.e.\\\\-\sin ((\pi)/(2))=-\cos ((\pi)/(2))\\\\i.e.\\\\-1=0

which is again a false identity.

Hence, we get that the given statement is False.
