Cosine Function Transformations and Properties

The video tutorial explains how to derive a cosine function equation from a given graph. It covers identifying the amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate these values and formulate a possible equation. Additionally, it explores an alternative equation using reflection across the midline, providing a comprehensive understanding of cosine graph transformations.

What is the general form of the cosine function used to determine the equation of a graph?

• y = a * sin(bx + c) + d

• y = a * cos(bx + c) + d

• y = a * tan(bx + c) + d

• y = a * sec(bx + c) + d
