Amplitude: 2. Period : 2 and phase $4 π$ $4pi$ =12.57 radian, nearly.

This graph is a periodic cosine wave.

Amplitude = $(max y - min y)/2 = (2-(-2))/2$ ,

Period = 2 and

Phase: $4pi$ ,

comparing with the form

$y = (amplitude) cos( (2pi)/(period)x+phase)$ .

graph{2 cos (3.14x+12.57) [-5, 5, -2.5, 2.5]}

What is the amplitude, period and the phase shift of y = 2 cos (pi x + 4pi) y=2cos(πx+4π)y = 2 cos (pi x + 4pi) ?
