A sine graph has a phase shift
if its key point has shifted to the
left or to the right.
A cosine graph has a phase shift
if its key point has shifted to the
left or to the right.

Graphs whose equations can be written as a sine function can also be
written as a cosine function.
Given the graph above, it is possible to write an equation for the
graph. We will look at how to write both a sine equation that describes
this graph and a cosine equation that describes the graph.
The sine function will be written as y = a sin b (x c).
The cosine function will be written as y = a cos b (x c).

y = a cos b (x c)
To write the equation as cosine function, the values for a, b, and c
must be determined. Interestingly, a and b are the same for cosine as
they were for sine. Only c is different.
The height of the graph is 4, so a = 4.

Minimums will be at -2.
The negative sign means that the graph has flipped about the x-axis.

In order to correctly label the x-intercepts, maximums, and minimums on
the graph, you will need to divide the period into 4 equal parts or
increments.
An increment, of the period, is the distance between an x-intercept and
a maximum or minimum.
One increment
The increment is of the period. Since the period for
