Answer

False

Work Step by Step

We know that a function$ f$ is said to be one-one if $f(x_1)=f(x_2)⇒x_1=x_2 $, in other words if $x_1≠x_2⇒f(x_1)≠f(x_2)$ Also ,We know that \[\cos (−x)=\cos x\] For all real x Here\[ \cos\left(\frac{-π}{2}\right)= \cos\left(\frac{π}{2}\right)\] But\[ \left(\frac{-π}{2}\right)\neq \left(\frac{π}{2}\right)\] By definition of one-one function $\Rightarrow $ That's why $\cos x$ is not one-one in $\left[\frac{-π}{2},\frac{π}{2}\right]$ However $\cos x$ is one-one in $\left(\frac{-π}{2},\frac{π}{2}\right)$
