Answer:

y=3 is the midline of the given cosine function.

Explanation:

The midline is a horizontal axis that acts as a reference line about which a graph of a periodic function oscillates.

It is the average of maximum and minimum values of the function.

The maximum value of the cosine function is y=4

The minimum value of the cosine function is y=2

∴ The midline of the cosine function = (4+2)/2 = 3

Hence, y=3 is the midline of the given cosine function.

Refer attachment for the graph.
