  1. We need to find a cosine function:

    [tex]y(x)=acos(bx) \\ \\ where: \\ \\ \left|a\right|=Amplitude \\ \\ Period=\frac{2\pi}{b}[/tex]

    The amplitude represents half the distance  between the maximum and minimum values of the function and the period goes from the x-value of one peak to the x-value of the next one. Therefore:

    [tex]a=0.75 \\ \\ b=\frac{2\pi}{10}=\frac{\pi}{5}[/tex]

    Finally:

    [tex]\boxed{y(x)=0.75cos(\frac{\pi}{5}x)}[/tex]

    And y(4) is:

    [tex]y(4)=0.75cos(\frac{\pi}{5}\times 4) \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{y(4)=-0.60}[/tex]

  2. From my research, the cosine function is:

    y(t) = Acos(ωt)

    Where:
    A = amplitude = 0.75
    ω = angular velocity = (2*pi)/T = (2*pi)/10 = 0.6283

    Therefore:

    y(4) = 0.75*cos(0.6283*4)
    y(4) = 0.61

  3. The general formula for sine function is y(x) = A sin(2πx/t). Here, x = displacement = 4 , time period , t = 10 and Amplitude, A = 0.75, then, y(4) = 0.75 sin( 2π*4/10) = 0.75*0.04 =0.03. Thus, the value of y(4) wll be 0.03
