Answer:
Can you please post a picture?!
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function:

Let's find the amplitude and period of the function.
Apply the general cosine function:

Where A is the amplitude.
Comparing both functions, we have:
A = 1
b = 4
Hence, we have:
Amplitude, A = 1
To find the period, we have:

Therefore, the period is = π/2
The graph of the function is shown below:
The parent function of the given function is:

Let's describe the transformation..
Apply the transformation rules for function.
We have:
The transformation that occured from f(x) = cosx to g(x) = cos4x using the rules of transformation can be said to be a horizontal compression.
ANSWER:
Amplitude = 1
Period = π/2
Transformation = horizontal compression.
The answer is 8 it should be
1 and 1/2 is the scale factor
5/4=1 2/4
So basically 5/4=6/4
