Answer:

[tex]C = 2[/tex] (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the constant A is different than 0

We notice that the graph of the function intercepts the x-axis when x = -0.5

we know that cos(x) = 0 when x = π/2 or x = -π/2

thus, [tex]-0.5 + C = \pi /2[/tex]    or  [tex]-0.5 + C = -\pi /2[/tex]

then [tex]C = \pi /2 + 0.5 = 2[/tex]  or [tex]C = -\pi /2 = 0.5 = -1[/tex]

so [tex]C = 2[/tex]
