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**: \(\sin(x) + \cos(x) = 5.000\).
