Simonne has been following the stock ratings of Carter's Pork Bellies. She has noticed that the pattern can be modeled by a cosine function. During her observations, she has found the stock to have a maximum of x = 6, minimum of x = - 2, and period of π. Which of the following cosine functions could model Simonne's stock rating?

    The formula is given as y=acos (bx), where a is the amplitude and 2π/b is the period.

    Solving for amplitude, we take the distance between the maximum and minimum and divide it by 2.

    a = [6 - (-2) ] / 2 = 4

    Since we know the period is π, we equate it to 2π/b to solve for b.

    π = 2π/b; b=2

    The cosine function model is y=4cos (2x)
