Determine the period y=-3cos(4x+3pi/2)+1

y=-3cos(4x+3pi/2)+1

= -3 cos [4(x + 3/8 π) + 1

in y = a cos kx, the
period of the cosine curve is 2π/k

in yours:
2π/4 = period
the period is π/2

check: graph the function y=-3cos(4x+3pi/2)+1

(you will have to change it to π, Desmos does not understand "pi"
