Hello. I am not sure how to do this exercise. 

**Finding the Trigonometric Function Formula**

In this example, we aim to determine a possible formula for the trigonometric function corresponding to the given table of values.

Here is the table of values provided:

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
x & 0 & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10 & 12 \\
\hline
y & 3 & -1 & 3 & 7 & 3 & -1 & 3 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

To find the possible formula for the trigonometric function, we will analyze the pattern in the given values.

- At \(x = 0\), \(y = 3\)
- At \(x = 2\), \(y = -1\)
- At \(x = 4\), \(y = 3\)
- At \(x = 6\), \(y = 7\)
- At \(x = 8\), \(y = 3\)
- At \(x = 10\), \(y = -1\)
- At \(x = 12\), \(y = 3\)

Given the periodic nature of the data, we will hypothesize a trigonometric function, such as:
\[ y = A \sin(Bx + C) + D \]
or
\[ y = A \cos(Bx + C) + D \]

where \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), and \(D\) are constants to be determined.

### Steps to Determine the Constants

1. **Amplitude (A):** The amplitude represents the maximum deviation from the average value. Observing that \(y\) varies from -1 to 7, the amplitude \((A)\) can be estimated as the half of the difference between these extremes.
\[ A = \frac{7 - (-1)}{2} = 4 \]

2. **Midline (D):** The midline represents the average value.
\[ D = \frac{7 + (-1)}{2} = 3 \]

3. **Period (T) and \(B\):** To determine the period, we observe the repeating nature of the values. It seems that the function repeats every 12 units (from \(
