Options:
  • A $f(x+2 \pi)=f(x)$ but $f(x+\alpha) \neq f(x)$ for any $0 < \alpha < 2 \pi$
  • B $\mathrm{f}$ is a strictly increasing function
  • C $\mathrm{f}$ is strictly decreasing function

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{f}$ is a constant function
$f(x)=\frac{\sin (x-a)+\sin (x+a)}{\cos (x-a)-\cos (x+a)}=\frac{2 \sin (x) \cdot \cos a}{2 \sin x \cdot \sin a}=\cot a$
