Answer:
The value of C = 2 ⇒ answer C
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- The function g(x) = cos(x) represented by the red graph
- Lets revise the transformation of the cosine function
- f(x) = A cos(B(x + C)) + D
, where
# amplitude is A
# period is 2π/B
# phase shift is C (positive is to the left)
# vertical shift is D
- The function f(x) = A cos(x + C) represented by the purple graph
# A is the amplitude
# C is the phase shift
- g(x) is the parent function of f(x)
- From the graph:
∵ The greatest value of g(x) in the red graph is at x = 0
∵ The greatest value of f(x) in the purple graph is at x = -2
- That means the graph sifted 2 units to the left
∴ The red graph shifted two units to the left in the purple graph
∵ The phase shift to the left is positive
∵ C is the phase shift
∴ The value of C = 2
