@jim_thompson5910 ..could you please help me with this last one?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

period of cos(Bx) is 2pi/B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

first case, B = 1 second case, B = 5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so period of 5*cos(x) is 2pi/1 = 2pi

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the period of cos(5x) is 2pi/5
