-2cos(2/3x-pi/3) I need to describe the sequence of tranformations from the parent fuction cos(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean you have to graph it by graph the parent function cos?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to describe, sequentially, the changes to g(x)=cos(x) that gives f(x) = -2cos(2/3x-pi/3) and what each changes means.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, well prepare for a long process. do you want to know or just take steps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have the first step -2*g(x) is a vertical stretch and reflection in x-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not that. you MUST start at cos x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tell me with cos x, what is the amplitude and period?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

amp is 2 and period is 3pi i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, no, friend, to cos x , amplitude is |1| and period is 2pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the graph is |dw:1367182855513:dw|
