Respuesta :
y = cos x begins at (0,1), descends to (pi/2,0), descends to (pi,-1), ascends to (3pi/2,0), and then ascends to (2pi,1). This covers only one full period.
The graph of y = 2cost x is the same, except that the amplitudes (y-values) are 2x as great as before:
(0,2), (pi/2, 0), and so on.

Answer:
The graph is in the attachment.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cosine function is periodic. This means that every 2pi, the image is the same.
For y = 2 cos x, the amplitude of the function is given by 2.
The domain of the function is (-∞,∞).
The image of the function is [-2, 2].
For example:
y(0) = 2 cos 0 = 2 . 1 = 2.
y(pi/2) = 2 cos(pi/2) = 2 * 0 = 0.
y(pi) = 2 cos(pi) = 2 * -1 = -2.
y(3pi/2) = 2 cos(3pi/2) = 2 * 0 = 0.
y(2pi) = 2 cos(2pi) = 2 * 1 = 2.
