The problem: how do I make the sum = the calculated values added together
Should I use another "for loop" or maybe a "while loop"?
Or have I gone about the code completely wrong?

x=input('value of x:');
n=input('number of interations:');
i=0:n;
for k=1:n
tscos(1,k)=((-1)^(i))*((x^(i*2))/(factorial(2*i)));
end

you have a couple options:

x=input('value of x:');
n=input('number of interations:');
i=0:n;
acc = 0;
for k=1:n
tscos(1,k)=((-1)^(i))*((x^(i*2))/(factorial(2*i)));
acc = acc + tscos(1,k);
end

or

x=input('value of x:');
n=input('number of interations:');
i=0:n;
for k=1:n
tscos(1,k)=((-1)^(i))*((x^(i*2))/(factorial(2*i)));
end
acc = sum(tscos);

acc will contain the sum, in either case.
