6-141.

Find a cosine function that has a maximum at and a minimum at .

Vertical shift: Since the minimum point is at and the amplitude is , the vertical shift would be their sum.

Horizontal shift: Since the maximum point is at a cosine function has been shifted units right.

Since a maximum is at and a minimum is at , half of a cycle is units. Hence, the period is .
Use the formula to calculate .
