\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }A\textit{ is negative}\\

[tex]\bf ~~~~~~\textit{reflection over the y-axis}
\\\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{C}{B}\\
~~~~~~if\ \frac{C}{B}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
~~~~~~if\ \frac{C}{B}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\
\bullet \textit{vertical shift by }D\\
~~~~~~if\ D\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
~~~~~~if\ D\textit{ is positive, upwards}[/tex]
[tex]\bf \bullet \textit{function period or frequency}\\
~~~~~~\frac{2\pi }{B}\ for\ cos(\theta),\ sin(\theta),\ sec(\theta),\ csc(\theta)\\\\
~~~~~~\frac{\pi }{B}\ for\ tan(\theta),\ cot(\theta)[/tex]
the frequency or Period of the function will then be
[tex]\bf f(x)=\cfrac{1}{4}cos(\stackrel{B}{2}x)+5\qquad \qquad \stackrel{period}{\cfrac{2}{B}}\implies \cfrac{2\pi }{2}\implies \pi [/tex]
