It is required to draw the graph of -3f(x), where f(x)=cos x.

It is also required to give its period.

To do this, start with the graph of the parent function f(x)=cos x, then perform transformations on the graph of the parent function to draw the required graph.

The graph of the parent function f(x)=cos x is shown below:

Reflect the graph over the x-axis to draw the graph of -f(x) (in blue):

Stretch the graph of -f(x) vertically by a factor of 3 to draw the graph of -3f(x) (in green):

The required graph of -3f(x) is:

Recall that the period of a sinusoid is the length of a complete cycle.

From the graph, the period is 2π.
