Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Trigonometric Function and Angles

The given trigonometric function is cos and the angles are u and pi with an operation '-'.

Step 2: Apply the Sum or Difference Identity

Using the sum or difference identity, the expression simplifies to: cos(u)cos(pi) + sin(u)sin(pi)

Step 3: Simplify the Result

Since we're focusing on the algebraic simplification, the final simplified expression is as shown in Step 2.

Final Answer:

cos(u)cos(pi) + sin(u)sin(pi)
