검증된 단계별 안내

Understand that the function given is \(y = \cos\left(x - \frac{\pi}{4}\right)\), which represents a horizontal shift of the basic cosine function \(y = \cos x\) to the right by \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) units.

Recall the key features of the cosine graph: it has a maximum value of 1 at \(x=0\), crosses zero at \(x=\frac{\pi}{2}\), reaches a minimum of -1 at \(x=\pi\), and completes one full period at \(x=2\pi\).

Apply the horizontal shift to these key points by adding \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) to each x-coordinate, so the maximum now occurs at \(x=\frac{\pi}{4}\), the zero crossing at \(x=\frac{3\pi}{4}\), the minimum at \(x=\pi + \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{5\pi}{4}\), and so on.

Examine each graph choice (A through I) and identify which one shows a cosine wave shifted to the right by \(\frac{\pi}{4}\), matching the shifted key points and shape of the cosine function.

Select the graph that matches these characteristics, and note that one graph will not correspond to any function given, so it will remain unused.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Phase Shift in Trigonometric Functions

Phase shift refers to the horizontal translation of a trigonometric graph caused by adding or subtracting a constant inside the function's argument. For y = cos(x - π/4), the graph shifts π/4 units to the right compared to y = cos(x). Understanding phase shifts helps identify how the graph moves along the x-axis.

Basic Shape and Properties of the Cosine Function

The cosine function is periodic with period 2π, oscillating between -1 and 1, starting at a maximum value of 1 when x = 0. Recognizing its characteristic wave shape and key points (maxima, minima, zeros) is essential for matching the function to its graph.

Graph Matching Techniques for Trigonometric Functions

Matching a trigonometric function to its graph involves analyzing shifts, amplitude, period, and key points. By comparing these features with given graphs, one can identify the correct match and exclude incorrect options, especially when one choice remains unused.
