How do I find the period of the graph, #f(x)=sqrt(sin^2(x/4)#, without graphing?
#f(x)=sqrt(sin^2(x/4)#
1 Answer
The period of
Explanation:
Let
We ask what is the period of:
Basically, this means solving the equality below for
If
1.
#sin(x/4+rho_0/4) = sin(x/4)#
#sin(x/4)cos(rho_0/4)+cos(x/4)sin(rho_0/4)=sin(x/4)#
With lowest positive value
2.
#sin(x/4)cos(rho_0/4)+cos(x/4)sin(rho_0/4)=-sin(x/4)#
This time, the lowest positive value is
As such, the principal period is actually
With the set of periods
