Answer:
See answers and explanations below (along with a graph)
Step-by-step explanation:
For a secant function y = a * sec(bx + c) + d:
Period: 2π/|b|
Phase shift: -c/b
Midline: d
Amplitude: |a|
For the given function y = 0.5sec(x + π/3) - 2:
Period: 2π (cycle repeats every 2π units)
Phase shift: -π/3 (π/3 units to the left of the parent function)
Midline: d = -2
Amplitude: a = 0.5
