Answer

$Period = 2\pi$ See below

Work Step by Step

If C is any real number and B > 0, then the graphs of $y = tan (Bx + C)$ and $y = cot (Bx + C)$ will have $Period = \frac{\pi}{B}$ $Horizontal\ shift = \frac{-C}{B}$ For equation $y = \frac{1}{3} \cot \frac{1}{2} x$ $Period = \frac{\pi}{\frac{1}{2}} = 2\pi$ Some values $y = 0, at\ x = \pi$ $y = \frac{1}{3}\ at\ x = \frac{\pi}{2}$ $y = -\frac{1}{3}\ at\ x = \frac{3\pi}{2}$ $y -> \pm \infty\ at\ x = 0, 2\pi$ Using graph of $\cot x$ and above values one can plot the graph of $\frac{1}{3} \cot \frac{1}{2} x$
