$\"\"$

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

The general form of cosine function is $\"\"$ .

\

Where $\"\"$ is amplitude and period $\"\"$ .

\

Compare the function with general form of cosine function.

\

Here amplitude is $\"\"$ .

\

The period is $\"\"$ .

\

The amplitude of the function is $\"\"$ , so the graph $\"\"$ is in between $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ on $\"\"$ -axis.

\

The negative sign indicates that the function flips about $\"\"$ -axis.

\

The period of the function is $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore, the cosine wave starts from $\"\"$ and completes one cycle at $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

The interval of the function is $\"\"$ .

\

Divide the interval $\"\"$ into eight subintervals, each of length $\"\"$ .

\

The points are $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ , $\"\"$

\

The end points of the subintervals are $\"\"$ .

\

Locate the key points $\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

Graph the function $\"\"$ .

\

Graph:

\

Draw a coordinate plane.

\

Plot the points on the graph.

\

Connect the points using smooth curve. \ \

\

\

Observe the graph:

\

The domain of the function is $\"open$ .

\

The range of the function is $\"\"$ .
