A real-valued function f is said to be periodic with period T ≠ 0 if f(x + T) = f(x) for all x in the domain of f. If T is the smallest positive value for which f(x + T) = f(x) holds, then T is called the fundamental period of f. Determine the fundamental period T of the given function. f(x) = sin(2x) + cos(4x)

Period T of the given function f(x) = sin(2x) + cos(4x)

   =  π

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y(x) is a sum of two trigonometric functions. The period T of sin 2x would be (2π÷2) = π. Period T of cos4x would be (2π÷4) that is π/2

Find the LCM of π and π/2 . That would be  π. Hence the period of the given function would be π
