Step 1. The expression that we have is:


cos^2(5x)

and we need to find the equivalent expression.

Step 2. The trigonometric identity we will use to solve this problem is:


cos^2A=1-sin^2A

In this case:


A=5x

Step 3. Applying the trigonometric identity to our expression, substituting 5x in the place of A:


cos^2(5x)=\boxed{1-sin^2(5x)}

This is shown in option d).

Answer:


\boxed{d)\text{ }1-s\imaginaryI n^2(5x)}
