Math Problem Statement

If a function f is periodic with period p, then f(t + p) = ___ for every t. The trigonometric functions y = sin(x) and y = cos(x) are periodic, with period ___ and amplitude ___.

Solution

The image presents a mathematical statement regarding periodic functions. The problem seems to be asking for definitions related to periodic functions and trigonometric functions like sine and cosine.

Here’s a breakdown of how to complete the blanks:

  1. First blank (related to f(t+p)f(t + p)):

    • For a periodic function ff with period pp, we have the property: f(t+p)=f(t)for alltf(t + p) = f(t) \quad \text{for all} \, t So, the correct answer to fill this blank is f(t)f(t).
  2. Second blank (period of sine and cosine functions):

    • The sine and cosine functions, y=sin(x)y = \sin(x) and y=cos(x)y = \cos(x), are periodic with a period of 2π2\pi. This is because these functions repeat every 2π2\pi radians.
  3. Third blank (amplitude of sine and cosine functions):

    • The amplitude of both sin(x)\sin(x) and cos(x)\cos(x) is 1, since their maximum value is 1 and their minimum value is -1.

Final Complete Statement:

  • "If a function ff is periodic with period pp, then f(t+p)=f(t)f(t + p) = f(t) for every tt. The trigonometric functions y=sin(x)y = \sin(x) and y=cos(x)y = \cos(x) are periodic, with period 2π2\pi and amplitude 1."

Would you like further details on periodic functions, or do you have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What does it mean for a function to have a period?
  2. How can you determine the period of a more complex function, such as y=sin(2x)y = \sin(2x)?
  3. What is the difference between the amplitude and the period of a trigonometric function?
  4. How does the period of a function change when you modify the input (e.g., sin(kx)\sin(kx))?
  5. Can you think of examples of periodic functions outside of trigonometry?

Tip: When determining the period of a function, always check the interval after which the function repeats its values. For trigonometric functions, this interval is typically based on 2π2\pi.
