Introduction to Periodic Function • A periodic function is a function f such that • f(x) = f(x + np), • for every real number x in the domain of f, every integer n, and some positive real number p. The smallest possible positive value of p is the period of the function. http://faculty.valenciacc.edu/ashaw/ Click link to download other modules. Rev.S08

What is the Amplitude of a Periodic Function? • The amplitude of a periodic function is half the difference between the maximum and minimum values. • The graph of y = a sin x or y = a cos x, with a≠ 0, will have the same shape as the graph of y = sin x or y = cos x, respectively, except the range will be [−|a|, |a|]. The amplitude is |a|. http://faculty.valenciacc.edu/ashaw/ Click link to download other modules. Rev.S08
