## Exercise: Finding the Period of a Trigonometric Function

### Problem Statement

15. Find the period of the function \( y = 5 \cos(3x) \).

### Multiple Choice Options
- \(\frac{3\pi}{5}\)
- \(3\pi\)
- \(\frac{2\pi}{5}\)
- \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\)

### Solution Explanation

To find the period of a cosine function of the form \( y = A \cos(Bx) \), we use the formula for the period \( T \):

\[ T = \frac{2\pi}{B} \]

For the given function \( y = 5 \cos(3x) \), the coefficient of \( x \), which is \( B \), is 3. Substituting \( B \) into the formula, we get:

\[ T = \frac{2\pi}{3} \]

Therefore, the period of the function \( y = 5 \cos(3x) \) is \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\).

The correct answer is \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\).
