State the amplitude and period of the sinusoid, and (relative to the basic function) the phase shift and vertical translation.
y= 2/3 cos ([x-3]/4) +1

The basic form of the equation that you are interested in is:
y=A \cdot cos(\omega t + p) + v
Where A = amplitude, \omega = frequency, p = phase shift, and v = vertical dislacement. Can you take it fom there?

We have a sinusoidal function whose general form is
y = Acos(wt + p) + v
The following formulas will be useful:
Amplitude = | a |
Period = 2pi / w
Phase shift = p / w
Vertical shift = d.
Can you take it from there?
