Please explain and show work. In the function f(x)=cos⁡x, f(x) is multiplied by a factor of 3, x is replaced with 4x and 5 is added to the function. Explain the effects this has on the graph of the function (i.e. horizontally, vertically, compressed, stretched, etc.).

Your graph will actually look like an oscillation (wave), it will be more compressed horizontally. As the value of x increases withe very whole number, your graph will compress horizontally. More like in the image below.
