You can put this solution on YOUR website! what is the amplitude, period, vertical and horizontal translations, vertical asymptotes of y=cos(2x-pi), y=-3cos(x+pi/2), and y=cos(2x)+1
 **
 Equation for graphing cosine function: y=Acos(Bx-C), A=amplitude, period=2π/B, Phase-shift=C/B
 ..
 y=cos(2x-pi)
 Amplitude=1
 B=2
 period:2π/B=2π/2=π
 phase shift: C/B=π/2 (shift to right)
 asymptotes:none
 ..
 y=-3cos(x+pi/2)
 Amplitude=3
 B=1
 period:2π/B=2π/1=2π
 phase shift: C/B=π/2 (shift to left)
 asymptotes:none
 (reflect graph about x-axis)
 ..
 y=cos(2x)+1
 Amplitude=1
 B=2
 period:2π/B=2π/2=π
 phase shift: none
 asymptotes:none
 vertical shift: one unit up
