Answer:

A function f(x) is said to be periodic, if there exists a positive real number T such that f(x+T) = f(x).

You can also just say: A periodic function is one that repeats itself in regular intervals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest value of T is called the period of the function.

Note: If the value of T is independent of x then f(x) is periodic, and if T is dependent, then f(x) is non-periodic.

For example, here's the graph of sin x.  [REFER TO PICTURE BELOW]

Sin x is a periodic function with period  2π  because  sin(x+2π)=sinx  

Other examples of periodic functions are all trigonometric ratios, fractional x (Denoted by {x} which has period 1) and others.

In order to determine the period of the determined graph however, just know that the period of the sine curve is the length of one cycle of the curve. The natural period of the sine curve is 2π. So, a coefficient of b=1 is equivalent to a period of 2π. To get the period of the sine curve for any coefficient b, just divide 2π by the coefficient b to get the new period of the curve.

Hopefully this helped a bit.

4w^2+49=-28w solve for w<br><br> plz answer
boyakko [2]

Move all terms to one side

4w^2 + 49 + 28w = 0

Rewrite 4w^2 + 49 + 28w in the form a^2 + 2ab + b^2, where a = 2w and b = 7

(2w)^2 + 2(2w)(7) + 7^2 = 0

Use the Square of Sum: (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

(2w + 7)^2 = 0

Take the square root of both sides

3w + 7 = 0

Subtract 7 from both sides

2w = -7

Divide both sides by 2

<u>w = -7/2</u>

Rachel runs 6 miles in 50 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 35 minutes?
Naily [24]

Answer: 4.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

So she ran 6 miles in 50 minutes how long will she run in 35 minutes?

So the equation will therefore be:

6=50

x=35

Cross multiply

6 x 35 = 50x

210 = 50x

Divide both sides by 50

The answer is 4.2 miles
