Five Claims on Chebyshev-Like Maps

Problem

For functions on [−1,1][-1, 1], consider the claims:

1. if f(cos⁡x)=cos⁡nxf(\cos x) = \cos nx with nn odd, then ff is odd; 2. if f(cos⁡x)=cos⁡nxf(\cos x) = \cos nx with nn even, then ff is even; 3. some odd nn and odd function gg satisfy g(sin⁡x)=sin⁡nxg(\sin x) = \sin nx for all xx; 4. some even nn and even function gg satisfy g(sin⁡x)=sin⁡nxg(\sin x) = \sin nx for all xx; 5. some nn makes both ff (with f(cos⁡x)=cos⁡nxf(\cos x) = \cos nx) and gg (with g(sin⁡x)=sin⁡nxg(\sin x) = \sin nx) monotone.

Which claims are true?
