Question 985898: Not sure if this goes in this section or the trig section.
But I need to graph the function +y=%285%2F2%29cos%28x%2Bpi%29+
To draw the graph, I need to plot all the x-intercepts, minima, and maxima within one period.

This is the cosine function shifted pi radians to the right.
The amplitude is +/-2.5
cosine of pi is -2.5, which is where it starts. That is a minimum. The maximum will be at x=pi.
The zeros will be at x=(pi/2) and x=3pi/2.
In summary, it is 2.5 times the cosine curve shifted pi radians to the right.
