The graphed cosine function can either be:
cos(x + pi) or cos(x - pi).
Which is the equation of the graphed function?
We know that this function is a cosine function with a phase shift, so the general form is:
f(x) = cos(x + P).
Where P is the phase shift.
In the graph we can see that when x = 0, f(0) = -1
And we know that cos(pi) = -1 = cos(-pi)
Then we must have that:
f(0) = cos(P) = -1
By what we wrote above, we know that P can be either -pi or pi (because of the parity of the cosine). Let's say that P = pi, then the cosine function is:
f(x) = cos(x + pi).
