X will equal 12, and y will equal 18.
A function
is periodic if there is some constant
such that
for all
in the domain of
. Then
is the "period" of
.
Example:
If
, then we have
, and so
is periodic with period
.
It gets a bit more complicated for a function like yours. We're looking for
such that
Expanding on the left, you have
and
It follows that the following must be satisfied:
The first two equations are satisfied whenever
, or more generally, when
and
(i.e. any multiple of 4).
The second two are satisfied whenever
, and more generally when
with
(any multiple of 10/7).
It then follows that all four equations will be satisfied whenever the two sets above intersect. This happens when
is any common multiple of 4 and 10/7. The least positive one would be 20, which means the period for your function is 20.
Let's verify:
More generally, it can be shown that
is periodic with period
.
Answer: -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, what's the diffrence from 5/4 to 3/8?
so, if we take 5/4 to be the 100%, what is 7/8 off of it in percentage anyway?
Answer:
5/8= 0.625
6/14= 0.42
Step-by-step explanation:
5 divided by 8
6 divided by 14
