your solutions are correct

for y = A\cos[B(x+C)] + D

|A| is the amplitude

\frac{2\pi}{|B|} is the period

C is the phase shift ... (+) left , (-) right

D is the vertical shift ... (+) up, (-) down


btw ... for future reference, the Greek letter \pi is spelled "pi".




this is a piece of "pie".
