Answer: Choice D) y = cos(2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, cosine has a period of 2pi. This means that the curve repeats itself every 2pi units. However, this graph has a period of pi.

We can see this by noting that the distance from one peak such as x = 0 to another adjacent peak x = pi is exactly pi units across.

Since T = pi is the period, we then know that

B = (2pi)/T

B = (2pi)/(pi)

B = 2

Then recall that the general template is y = Acos(B(x-C))+D

In this case, A = 1, C = 0 and D = 0. So all of this leads to y = cos(2x)
