Question

How do you graph `f(x)=xcosx` and include two full periods?

Answer 1

Graph is inserted.

Explanation:

Similar questions appeared before.

#f(x) is periodic with period P, if f(x+P), and P is the least such

positive value.

Here, in x cos x, cos x is periodic but x cos x is non-periodic.

So, I understand your period as the period of the factor cos x and

this P is `2pi`.

So, my Socratic graph is for a span of `2(2pi)=4pi==12.57`, nearly.

This part appeard to be periodic. But the whole grph in non=periodic. See the second graph.
