    For the following exercises, graph the functions for two periods and determine the amplitude or stretching factor, period, midline equation, and asymptotes.

    1. \(f(x)=-3 \cos x+3\)

    2. \(f(x)=\frac{1}{4} \sin x\)

    3. \(f(x)=3 \cos \left(x+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\)

    4. \(f(x)=-2 \sin \left(x-\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)\)

    5. \(f(x)=3 \sin \left(x-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)-4\)

    6. \(f(x)=2\left(\cos \left(x-\frac{4 \pi}{3}\right)+1\right)\)

    7. \(f(x)=6 \sin \left(3 x-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)-1\)

    8. \(f(x)=-100 \sin (50 x-20)\)
