    Let f(x)=cos⁡xf(x) = \cos x. The graph of y=f(x)y = f(x) is transformed to give the graph of y=3f(x)−1y = 3f(x) - 1.
    (a)
    Find the maximum and minimum values that y=3f(x)−1y = 3f(x) - 1 can take, using the fact that cos⁡x\cos x has a maximum value of 1 and a minimum value of -1.

    (b)
    Describe the two individual transformations applied to y=f(x)y = f(x), in the correct order, to obtain y=3f(x)−1y = 3f(x) - 1, stating the effect of each.

    (c)
    A further function is defined as h(x)=3f(x+90)−1h(x) = 3f(x + 90) - 1, where f(x)=cos⁡xf(x) = \cos x. Write down the expression for h(x)h(x) in terms of cos⁡\cos, and hence evaluate h(0)h(0).
