Understanding Cosine Function: To graph the function y=−3cos(x), we need to understand the properties of the cosine function and how the coefficient −3 affects it.The cosine function, cos(x), has a period of 2π, meaning it repeats every 2π units. It has a maximum value of 1 and a minimum value of −1 when not scaled by any coefficient. The x-intercepts occur at 2π and 23π within one cycle.The coefficient −3 will stretch the graph vertically by a factor of −30 and reflect it across the x-axis because it is negative. This means the new maximum value will be −3 (since it's reflected) and the minimum value will be −30. The period remains 2π.
Finding X-Intercepts: Let's find the x-intercepts of y=−3cos(x). The x-intercepts occur where y=0.Setting y=−3cos(x) to 0 gives us 0=−3cos(x). Dividing both sides by −3, we get cos(x)=0.The solutions to cos(x)=0 within one cycle [0,2π] are x=2π and y=00.
Determining Minima and Maxima: Next, we find the minima and maxima. Since the function is −3cos(x), the maxima occur where cos(x) is at its minimum, which is −1, and the minima occur where cos(x) is at its maximum, which is 1. For the maxima: y=−3cos(x)=−3(−1)=3. This occurs at x=π. For the minima: y=−3cos(x)=−3(1)=−3. This occurs at x=0 and x=2π.
Plotting Points and Drawing Curve: Now we can plot the points we have found on the graph:- X-intercepts at (2π,0) and (23π,0).- Maximum at (π,3).- Minima at (0,−3) and (2π,−3).We can then draw the curve of the cosine function, keeping in mind the vertical stretch and reflection across the x-axis.
