    why take this LCM to find time period

  • Udayan

    why u take the LCM of those two periods

    eduncle-logo-app

    this is the property that when you have two functions in the like addition subtraction form then the time period is equal to lcm of two two functions...

    eduncle-logo-app

    and lcm of the fraction form is in my attached page. go through it..

    ma'am can u upload the property where's form u can know

    period of first term (cos()term) is 2π/10. period of second term is 2π/4. and period of the function is LCM of these two periods.

    if you have any doubt, do let me know!

    how may I help you?

    pls describe why u take the LCM to find the the time period

    what is periodic of a function?, the smallest number which when you add to the variable and the function doesn't change. Now let say you have two functions with period 2 and 3 respectively. it means, in function F1 if you add 2 the the function wouldn't change. what if you add 4 instead of 2, then also the function won't change and similarly adding 6, 8,10 will also not chnage the function. now for function F2, if you add 3, 6 , 9, then the function won't change. what is common to both the list. list1 = (2,4,6,8,...) and list2 = (3,6,9,...). 6 is common. and you know 6 is LCM of 2 and 3.

    that's can understood ,l want to knowing why u take the LCM to find the time period

    eduncle-logo-app

    i just give the demonstration that you have to take LCM to fulfill the definition of period of a function.

    eduncle-logo-app

    but can u explain that the time period of a function which is the adding of two another function is the LCM of those two functions's time period

    eduncle-logo-app

    I can't explain better than this. You sould read the question again, then read my explanation. if you got it, it would be best. other than that, I don't think a better explanation even exist.

    is there no proof that the time period of f() is the LCM of two other functions time period
