Answer:

The answer to your question is 5(cosx + π/4) + 4

Explanation:

General equation of trigonometric functions

f(x) = A(cos bx + c) + d

A = amplitude

b = period

c = change of phase

d = vertical change

Process

1.- Calculate amplitude

From the lowest to the highest point the function measures 10 units, but A is 10/2 then A = 5.

2.- Calculate period, the cosine graph goes from 0 to 2π. Period does not change so b = 1.

3.- Change of phase, the graph must start in (0, 1) but this graphs starts in (-π/4, 9) so c = π/4.

4.- Calculate the vertical displacement , it moved upward 4 units, so d = +4

5.- The equation is 5(cosx + π/4) + 4

6.- See my graph below
