Answer:

  • a = 0.5
  • b = π/4.5
  • c = 7π/9
  • d = -4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of d is the average of the maximum and the minimum.

  d = (-4 +-5)/2 = -9/2 = -4.5

The value of 'a' is the difference between the maximum and d.

  a = -4 -(-4.5) = 0.5

The value of b is 2π divided by the period. Here, the half-period is 3.5 -(-1) = 4.5, so ...

  b = 2π/9 = π/4.5

The value of c is the value that makes the cosine argument zero at x=3.5.

  (π/4.5)(3.5) +c = 0

  c = -7π/9
