Answer: A) graph with points (0, 5) and (π/4, 0) and (π/2, -5) and (3π/4, 0) and (π, 5).


First of all, consider that the function f(x) is
a transformation of the cosine function, generically given by the formula:


y =
A·cos(ωx + Ф) + B



In our case, Ф and B are zero, which means that there is no vertical
or horizontal shift. What changes is the amplitude A and the period given by T
= 2π/ω.



The cosine function has a period of 2π, a range [-1, 1] starts at (0, 1) where it has a
maximum, intersects the x-axis on x = π/2 and 3π/2, has a minimum at (π, -1) and another maximum at 2π.



Similarly, the function f(x) has a period of T =
2π/2 = π, which means that it completes a cycle in half the
space of the cosine, and an amplitude A = 5, which means that it is stretched
in a range [-5, 5]. Therefore, we can say that it starts at (0, 5) where it has
a maximum, intersects the x-axis on x = π/4 and 3π/4, has a minimum at (π/2, -5) and another maximum at π.



The option describing this behavior is option
A
