As below.

Standard form of a cosine function is $y = A cos (Bx - C) + D$

$y = 4 cos (x + 1) - 2$

$A = 4, B = 1, C = -1, D = -2$

$Amplitude = |A| = 4$

$"Period ' = (2pi) / |B| = 2pi$

$"Phase Shift ' = -C / B = 1, color(crimson)(" 1 to the RIGHT"$

$"Vertical Shift ' = -2$

Knowing the above 4 parameters, we can draw thegraph.

graph{4 cos(x + 1) - 2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
