Answer:

Option B is Correct.

Explanation:

Given:
$y\,=\,3\,cos\,(2(x+(\pi)/(2)))-2$

To find: Equivalent Expression.

We use Following functions:

$cos\,(\pi+x)=\,-cos\,x\:,\:cos\,((\pi)/(2)+x)=\,-sin\,x\:\:and\:\:sin\,((\pi)/(2)+x)=cos\,x$

First we simply the given expression,

$y\,=\,3\,cos\,(2(x+(\pi)/(2)))-2$

$y\,=\,3\,cos\,(2x+2(\pi)/(2)))-2$

$y\,=\,3\,cos\,(2x+\pi)-2$

$y\,=\,3\,cos\,(\pi+2x)-2$

$y\,=\,3\,(-cos\,2x)-2$ ( using above mentioned result )

$y\,=\,-3\,cos\,2x-2$ ............................(1)

Option A:

$y\,=\,3\,sin\,(2(x+(\pi)/(4)))-2$

$y\,=\,3\,sin\,(2x+2(\pi)/(4)))-2$

$y\,=\,3\,sin\,(2x+(\pi)/(2))-2$

$y\,=\,3\,sin\,((\pi)/(2)+2x)-2$

$y\,=\,3\,cos\,2x-2$ ( using above mentioned result )

Since, it is not equal to (1)

Therefore, It is Not correct Option.

Option B:

$y\,=\,-3\,sin\,(2(x+(\pi)/(4)))-2$

$y\,=\,-3\,sin\,(2x+2(\pi)/(4)))-2$

$y\,=\,-3\,sin\,(2x+(\pi)/(2))-2$

$y\,=\,-3\,sin\,((\pi)/(2)+2x)-2$

$y\,=\,-3\,cos\,2x-2$ ( using above mentioned result )

Since, it is equal to (1)

Therefore, It is Correct Option.

Option C:

$y\,=\,3\,cos\,(2(x+(\pi)/(4)))-2$

$y\,=\,3\,cos\,(2x+2(\pi)/(4)))-2$

$y\,=\,3\,cos\,(2x+(\pi)/(2))-2$

$y\,=\,3\,cos\,((\pi)/(2)+2x)-2$

$y\,=\,3\,(-sin\,2x)-2$ ( using above mentioned result )

$y\,=\,-3\,sin\,2x-2$

Since, it is not equal to (1)

Therefore, It is Not correct Option.

Option D:

$y\,=\,-3\,cos\,(2(x+(\pi)/(2)))-2$

$y\,=\,-3\,cos\,(2x+2(\pi)/(2)))-2$

$y\,=\,-3\,cos\,(2x+\pi)-2$

$y\,=\,-3\,cos\,(\pi+2x)-2$

$y\,=\,-3\,(-cos\,2x)-2$ ( using above mentioned result )

$y\,=\,3\,cos\,2x-2$

Since, it is not equal to (1)

Therefore, It is Not correct Option.

Therefore, Option B is Correct.
