\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

The standard form of the cosine function is $\"\"$ .

\

Where $\"\"$ is the amplitude, $\"\"$ is the vertical shift and $\"\"$ .

\

Compare the function $\"\"$ with $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ and midline is $\"\"$

The Amplitude of the Function is $\"\"$ .

\

The period of a sine function is $\"\"$ .

\

Phase shift of a function is $\"\"$ .

\

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

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

\

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

\

The cosine wave starts from $\"\"$ to $\"\"$

\

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

\

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

\

The intervals are $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ , $\"\"$

\

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