Explanation:
The standard form of the
color(blue)"cosine function"cosine function is.
color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=acos(bx+c)+d)color(white)(2/2)|)))
"where amplitude " =|a|," period " =(2pi)/b
"phase shift " =-c/b," vertical displacement " =d
"here " a=1,b=1,c=-pi/3,d=0
rArr"phase shift "=-(-pi/3)/1=pi/3
"with respect to " y=cosx
y=cos(x-pi/3)" is " y=cosx" shifted " pi/3" to the right"
