Homework Statement

The Attempt at a Solution



For #3 I need to finde the cos graph equation here's what I got: shift to the right 2, Amplitude = 3, b = π/2

equation: y=3cosπ/2(x-2)

I'm just not sure if i have it in the right format or if I'm even right


Attempt for #4 Amplitude=2 Shift left = 1 Shift up= 3

You're solutions appear to be right, but I'm not sure what you mean by the right format.
 
For your first solution, you are correct, but if when you say "format" you are referring to a simpler form, you may wish to use the identity [tex]cos(x - \pi) = -cos(x)[/tex] to simplify the equation.
