periodic function trigonometric identities constant function
Solution Approach: Simplify the function expression using trigonometric identities.
Detailed Steps:
- Using the identity:
- Therefore , this is a constant function
- A constant function is periodic, any non-zero real number is a period
- The fundamental period does not exist (because any arbitrarily small positive number is a period)
Answer: This function is periodic but has no fundamental period.
