### Trigonometric Problem: Which Statement Can Never Be True?

Consider the following trigonometric statements and determine which one can never be true:

A) \(\tan(x) = 500\)

B) \(\cos(x) = 0.999\)

C) \(\sin(x) + \cos(x) = 5.000\)

D) \(\sin(x) = \cos(x)\)

#### Explanation:

- **Option A:** \(\tan(x) = 500\) is possible since the tangent function can take any real value.

- **Option B:** \(\cos(x) = 0.999\) is possible because the cosine function ranges from -1 to 1.

- **Option C:** \(\sin(x) + \cos(x) = 5.000\) is impossible because the maximum value of \(\sin(x) + \cos(x)\) is \(\sqrt{2}\) when \(\sin(x) = \cos(x)\).

- **Option D:** \(\sin(x) = \cos(x)\) is possible when \(x = \frac{\pi}{4} + n\pi\), where \(n\) is an integer.

Thus, the statement that can never be true is **C**: \(\sin(x) + \cos(x) = 5.000\).
