**Mathematics Question: Analyzing the Function \( f(x) = 2 \cos x \)**

Complete parts (a) through (g) below:

---

**(a) What is the y-intercept of the graph of \( f(x) \)?**

**Answer:** 2  
*(Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a decimal.)*

---

**(b) For what numbers \( x \), \(-\pi \leq x \leq \pi \), is the graph of \( f(x) \) increasing?**

**Answer:** \( -\pi < x < 0 \)  
*(Type exact answers in terms of \(\pi\). Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expressions. Simplify your answers.)*

---

**(c) What is the absolute minimum value of \( f(x) \)?**

**Answer:** -2  
*(Simplify your answer.)*

---

**(d) For what numbers \( x \), \(-2\pi \leq x \leq 2\pi \), does \( f(x) = 2 \)?**

**Answer:** \( -2\pi, 0, 2\pi \)  
*(Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Type an exact answer in terms of \(\pi\). Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression. Simplify your answer.)*

---

**(e) For what numbers \( x \), \(-2\pi < x \leq 2\pi \), does \( f(x) = 2 \)? Where does \( f(x) = -2 \)?**

**Answer:**

\( f(x) = 2 \) for \( x = 0, 2\pi \)  
*(Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Type an exact answer in terms of \(\pi\). Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression. Simplify your answer.)*

\( f(x) = -2 \) for \( x = -\pi, \pi \)  
*(Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression. Simplify your answer.)*
