It looks similar to q7) so when the curve cut the coordinate axes, i.e. all the points when x=0 and when y=0. What are you unsure about?

i do not know how to calculate the values - to find the x values, i added 2/3 pi to the current x values on a normal cos graph but that didnt give me the correct answer

You must know how to calculate when it cuts the y-axis, so when x=0. Just sub it in.

For cutting the x axis, its when
cos(x - 2pi/3) = 0
so when
x - 2pi/3 = pi/2 +/-k*pi
for integers k.
