Answer

$\pi$

Work Step by Step

We first write the equation in the form $y=c+a \cos [b(x-d)]$. Therefore, $y=3-6\sin (2x+\frac{\pi}{2})$ becomes $y=3-6\sin [2(x+\frac{\pi}{4})]$. Comparing the equation to its general form, we find that $b=2$. We know that the period is equal to $\frac{2\pi}{b}$. Substituting $b=2$ in this formula, Period$=\frac{2\pi}{2}=\pi$.
