Here,
$x=x_{0} \cos (\omega t-\pi / 4)$
$\therefore$ Velocity, $v=\frac{d x}{d t}=-x_{0} \omega \sin \left(\omega t-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
Acceleration,
$a=\frac{d v}{d t}=-x_{0} \omega^{2} \cos \left(\omega t-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$=x_{0} \omega^{2} \cos \left[\pi+\left(\omega t-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\right]$
$=x_{0} \omega^{2} \cos \left(\omega t+\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)$ $...(1)$
Acceleration, $a=A \cos (\omega t+\delta)$ $...(2)$
Comparing the two equations, we get
$A=x_{0} \omega^{2}$ and $\delta=\frac{3 \pi}{4}$
