So,

To answer this question, we could use the fact that:


\cos (x-(\pi)/(2))=\sin x

Now, given:


y=9\sin ((4\pi)/(3)x)

We could affirm that this expression is equivalent to:


y=9\cos ((4\pi)/(3)x-(\pi)/(2))

A similar situation occurs to this function:


y=3\sin ((\pi)/(3)x)

An equivalent cosine function could be:


y=3\cos ((\pi)/(3)x-(\pi)/(2))
