Consider the trigonometric function f(x)=4cos(2x pi/2) +9 how do you determine the minimum and maximum values of this function?

Make use of your knowledge of the maximum and minimum of the cosine function. Then scale and translate according to the way that function is scaled and translated to make f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is the cosine function, multplied by 4 and with 9 added to the result.

The minimum of the cosine function is -1. Multiplying that by 4 gives -4, and adding 9 gives 5.

The maximum of the cosine function is +1. Multiplying that by 4 gives +4, and adding 9 gives 13.

The minimum and maximum of f(x) are 5 and 13, respectively.
