Answer

$y=\cos \left(2x+2\pi\right)-\frac{3}{2}$

Work Step by Step

The cosine function is: $$y=a\cos (bx-c)+d$$ Rewriting the equation: $$y=a\cos b\left(x-\frac{c}{b}\right)+d$$ Finding $b$: $$period=\frac{2\pi}{b}$$ $$b=\frac{2\pi}{period}=\frac{2\pi}{\pi}=2$$ With left phase shift of $\pi$ or phase shift of $-\pi$: $$\frac{c}{b}=-\pi$$ $$c=-\pi b=-\pi(2)=-2\pi$$ Substituting $a=1,~b=2,~c=-2\pi$ and $d=-\frac{3}{2}$, the function is: $$y=\cos \left(2x-\left(-2\pi\right)\right)+\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)$$ $$y=\cos \left(2x+2\pi\right)-\frac{3}{2}$$
