Answer:
y = negative 2 cosine (2 (x + pi)) minus 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The amplitude of the trig function will be half the difference of the minimum and maximum, so is ...
A = (1 -(-3))/2 = 2
The coefficient of x is 2π divided by the period, so is ...
B = (2π)/π = 2
The vertical offset is the average of the maximum and minimum:
C = (1 +(-3))/2 = -1
Since the extreme negative value is at x=0, this can be the opposite of the cosine function:
y = -A·cos(Bx) +C
The answer choices have a horizontal offset of pi, which does nothing, since the period is pi.
y = -2cos(2(x+π)) -1
