Question

What is the phase shift, vertical displacement with respect to `y=cosx` for the graph `y=cos(x-(5pi)/6)+16`?

Answer 1

Phase shift: `5pi/6`
Vertical displacement: `16`

Explanation:

The equation is in the form:

`y=Acos(bx-c)+d`

Where in this case , `A=B=1`, `C=5pi/6`, and `D=16`

`C` is defined as the phase shift. So the phase shift is `5pi/6`

`D` is defined as the vertical displacement. So the vertical displacement is `16`
