  1. Understanding Cosine Function: To graph the function y=3cos(x)y = -3\cos(x), we need to understand the properties of the cosine function and how the coefficient 3-3 affects it.\newlineThe cosine function, cos(x)\cos(x), has a period of 2π2\pi, meaning it repeats every 2π2\pi units. It has a maximum value of 11 and a minimum value of 1-1 when not scaled by any coefficient. The x-intercepts occur at π2\frac{\pi}{2} and 3π2\frac{3\pi}{2} within one cycle.\newlineThe coefficient 3-3 will stretch the graph vertically by a factor of 3-300 and reflect it across the x-axis because it is negative. This means the new maximum value will be 3-3 (since it's reflected) and the minimum value will be 3-300. The period remains 2π2\pi.
  2. Finding X-Intercepts: Let's find the x-intercepts of y=3cos(x)y = -3\cos(x). The x-intercepts occur where y=0y = 0.\newlineSetting y=3cos(x)y = -3\cos(x) to 00 gives us 0=3cos(x)0 = -3\cos(x). Dividing both sides by 3-3, we get cos(x)=0\cos(x) = 0.\newlineThe solutions to cos(x)=0\cos(x) = 0 within one cycle [0,2π][0, 2\pi] are x=π2x = \frac{\pi}{2} and y=0y = 000.
  3. Determining Minima and Maxima: Next, we find the minima and maxima. Since the function is 3cos(x)-3\cos(x), the maxima occur where cos(x)\cos(x) is at its minimum, which is 1-1, and the minima occur where cos(x)\cos(x) is at its maximum, which is 11. For the maxima: y=3cos(x)=3(1)=3y = -3\cos(x) = -3(-1) = 3. This occurs at x=πx = \pi. For the minima: y=3cos(x)=3(1)=3y = -3\cos(x) = -3(1) = -3. This occurs at x=0x = 0 and x=2πx = 2\pi.
  4. Plotting Points and Drawing Curve: Now we can plot the points we have found on the graph:\newline- X-intercepts at (π2,0)(\frac{\pi}{2}, 0) and (3π2,0)(\frac{3\pi}{2}, 0).\newline- Maximum at (π,3)(\pi, 3).\newline- Minima at (0,3)(0, -3) and (2π,3)(2\pi, -3).\newlineWe can then draw the curve of the cosine function, keeping in mind the vertical stretch and reflection across the x-axis.
