how to determine whether the function is periodic or not ??some help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u have any function to determine it's periodicity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the value of function repeats itself after an interval than function is periodic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so cos2x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is periodic at a interval of \[\pi/2:)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thanx, can u please tell me how to know that ?please :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sin x and cos x are periodic functions of period 2pi as you increase the value of x to ax the functions shrinks and period changes to 2pi/a so answer is pi sorry:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanx sir

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Fazeelayaz you are wrong :!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you take common 2 you r left with pi not pi/2:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=f(x+p)\] where p is period \[\cos2x=\cos(2x+2\pi)\] \[=\cos2(x+\pi) \] \[p=\pi\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the aswer is pi not pi/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u plug pi/2 in cos2x u would get cospi but period of sines or cosiines is 2 times pi so period of cos2x is pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz give me medal if u understood the procedure i need medals to show them to my girl friend thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey sorry what does the fundamental period mean??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fundamental period is lowest value of interval in which the value of function repeats for sine and cosine it is 2pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for cosax its 2pi/a ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the value of cos 2x may also repeat after some mulltiple of pi like 2pi 3pi but lowwest value is pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Fazeelayaz sry if he gave you medal then you have to gave me medal @System2012 yup:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Fazeelayaz just read his question first:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes 2pi/a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cosax=cos(ax+2pi) =cosa(x+2pi/a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hello guys am stuck with this function is it periodic cos^3x ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmeeeddddalllllllllllllllllllll plzzzzz my girl friend is coming plzzzzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

last question :) please gonna have ma exam 2moro..:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos3x=cosx(3x+2pi) =cos3(x+2pi/3) period =2pi/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

medallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

man its cos^3 not cos3 i will give u man dont worry ;-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos^3(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok cos^3x=(cosx)^3 period is equal to 2pi apply same rule just set whole powr to 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it periodic >???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey my girl friend

OpenStudy (anonymous):

come on plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how do i give medal from where ?? just tell me how ,i dont know how to do that ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i did man
