Identify Function & Variable: Identify the function and the variable.We have y=cos(5x2), where cos is the cosine function and x is the variable.
Recognize Inner Function: Recognize the inner function.The inner function is 5x2, which means "5 times x squared."
Apply Cosine Function: Apply the cosine function.To simplify, we apply the cosine function to the inner function, resulting in y=cos(5x2). This is the simplified form since cosine functions do not simplify further without specific values for x.
