Answer

The amplitude and period of $y=3\cos 2\pi x$ are $3$ and $\text{1}$, respectively. The table is shown below:

Work Step by Step

The amplitude of $y=3\cos 2\pi x$ can be obtained by comparing the provided equation with the equation $y=A\cos Bx$ and it is given below $\begin{align} & \left| A \right|=\left| 3 \right| \\ & =3 \end{align}$ And the period is given by $\begin{align} & \frac{2\pi }{B}=\frac{2\pi }{2\pi } \\ & =1 \end{align}$ Now, we have to plot the graph of the given equation for $-4\le x\le 4$: The quarter period is: $\text{Quarter period}=\frac{\text{Period}}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$ Use the below coordinates to draw a smooth graph as shown above.
