Answer

The amplitude is 3 The period is $2\pi$ The vertical translation is 0 The phase shift is $-\frac{\pi}{2}$

Work Step by Step

$y = A~cos(Bx+C)+D$ $y = 3~cos(x+\frac{\pi}{2})$ $A = 3$ $B = 1$ $C = \frac{\pi}{2}$ $D = 0$ $\vert A \vert$ is the amplitude. The amplitude is 3 $\frac{2\pi}{B}$ is the period. The period is $2\pi$ $D$ is the vertical translation. The vertical translation is 0 $\frac{-C}{B}$ is the phase shift. The phase shift is $-\frac{\pi}{2}$
