The equation of cosine function is #y= 1/2 cos (x- (3pi)/2) #

Explanation:

General equation is #y= A cos (Bx+C)+D # Where "A" is amplitude; Period = #(2pi)/B or B=2pi#/piriod; phase shift is #-C/|B|# here #A=1/2; B=(2pi)/(2pi)=1 ; C= -(3*pi)/2:.# the equation of cosine function is #y= 1/2 cos (x- (3pi)/2) # [Ans]
